fpm2

fpm2(1) 						    Figaro's Password Manager 2 						   fpm2(1)

NAME

       fpm2 - Figaro's Password Manager 2

DESCRIPTION

       fpm2 is a GUI password manager using the GTK2 libraries. Passwords are encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm.

OPTIONS

       -f filename
	      Use a different file to store fpm data. Must include directory where file is stored.

       -t     Start fpm2 hidden in tray. No ask for password on startup.

USAGE

       launchers
	      Arbitrary launchers can be defined, in order to automatically launch progammes with parameters from the password entry, eg:

		 xterm -title $u@$a -e ssh -X $a -l $u.

	      Possible variables are:

		 $a - an arbitrary argument associated with the password entry - typically a hostname.

		 $u - the username associated with the password entry

		 $p - the password associated with the password entry

       on-the-fly categories
	      Each password entry can belong to a category, which is generated just by naming it in at least one entry.

       password generation
	      fpm2  will  generate  passwords  for  you. Up to 24 characters with a boolean choices for lowercase, uppercase, numbers, symbols and
	      ambigous characters (eg. `O` and `0`).

SECURITY

       Using the $p variable means that your password ends up in .bash_history in addition to being visible by ps aux!

       In order to work around this problem conveniently fpm2 can have your password copied to your primary selection,	so  that  you  may  easily
       paste it where needed. Then your password should be as secured as your transport.
