    PwManager for Windows

    Filed under: Computer — Tags: — martin @ 11:22 am

    Having just put Windows XP back (in a dual boot configuration) I wanted to share the password manager that I have in the KDE system tray with Windows. I looked on the internet, and the only thing that has been ported is the pwmanager_dump program. However, combined with some the Windows ext2 driver, GNUWin32 tools (grep, awk, xargs etc) and a program that copies its command-line argument to the Windows clipboard, I have a hacked-up working pwmanager that syncs with linux.

    I’m not 100% certain, but I think all of the tools I use are under the GPL, except for CopytoClipboard.exe, whose license I do not know. To get it to work, simply edit the first line of the bat file to point to your pwd file - of course you’ll have used the Windows ext2 driver to mount your linux partition to a Windows drive letter.
