DisPass
DisPass is a password manager for GNU/Linux, *BSD, MacOS X and Windows. It can be used as any traditional password manager, but has one key difference. DisPass does not store your passwords anywhere, so you can never lose them. It creates strong and unique passphrases formed from a master password and a label (and some optional parameters), helping you get rid of the bad habit of using a single password for multiple websites. Dispass is a console application, but also has a simple graphical interface.
These are quick instructions for the impatient, just wanting to check out DisPass. For full documentation on using DisPass, visit http://dispass.org
Download and install DisPass from the Python Package Index with pip:
.. code:: console
pip install --user dispass
For this example we will create a passphrase to use for a google account.
Create and save a label google
to the labelfile:
.. code:: console
dispass add google
Generate the passphrase for the first time. Since you will need to
register the passphrase with google we pass the --verify
flag
or simply -v
so DisPass asks us to verify the password and we
can avoid typing errors in the input password while creating the
resulting passphrase for the first time:
.. code:: console
dispass generate --verify google
Checkout the following mini screencast. In this demo the label is added interactively.

DisPass is released under an ISC license, which is functionally equivalent to the simplified BSD and MIT/Expat licenses, with language that was deemed unnecessary by the Berne convention removed.
