How do I run this locally?

16s 14y ago
There are several local apps that have done this for a long time. I wrote and use SHA1_Pass. It has local clients for Mac, Linux and Windows and a JavaScript version that can run locally on mobile devices. http://16s.us/sha1_pass/ http://16s.us/sha1_pass/

  I was wondering about the password change scenario and the FAQ at your link gives some clue. So basically, if you are using this scheme/tool for your passwords than you are basically remembering the changing words (bills1, bills2 etc). This isn't really any different than remembering your passwords (if you are into making password strings of your own). I guess a local password manager is good enough repository for passwords as it also lets you generate passwords.

Do you have Go installed? If so, just clone the repo into your $GOPATH/src directory and 'go install pgen/mawud'. Then, you can generate a password using 'mawud gmail'--you'll be prompted for your password. You can use flags to set parameters: -l 10 : sets length to 10 characters -a ans : sets allowed characters to alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic -f : shows your master password as you type it in -p : shows the generated password as well as copying it to your clipboard The length and allowed-char parameters are saved in the file ~/.pwlist in the gob format, and will be used each time you generate a password for a specific service. For example, you could generate a numeric, 6-character password for "bankpin" with 'mawud bankpin -a n -l 6' and, in the future, just type 'mawud bankpin' to generate the same password. The local version is something I built for my own use, so it's pretty rough at the moment. For example, the copy-to-clipboard function only works on OS X. Plus, having to install Go is a hassle for most people. I'm planning on writing a Python script using the same generation algorithm and fixing some of the rough edges this weekend.
