The Andromeda Password Manager is a CLI password manager utility made for Linux and BSD-based systems

Andromeda uses symmetric AES encryption for its databases, stored in zip archives for flexibility.

Besides password management, a Lua script is also included and integrated with the main shell script to generate passwords based on either the ASCII table or a keyword dictionary

This program is still very fresh. You might encounter bugs and notice the lack of special features, although the amount of bugs has been severely reduced

• Password and database management

• AES encryption for databases

• zip deflate compression

• Muliple database support

• Multiple password entries per database

• Custom database file extension

• ASCII and dictionary-based password generation with custom length

Grab the stable releases here

But you can also get the testing build from the repository.

Download andromeda.sh and (optionally) passgen.lua and execute andromeda.sh with bash

The configuration is located inside the main script

Note: You should always download from the releases, as they are stable versions. Downloading from the repo source will most likely give you dev/testing versions which might have bugs and unstable/unfinished code.

This project was written with Linux in mind and is certain to work on any Linux system with a repository that isn't decades old, however it will also work on any system as long as you can get the required dependencies. For basic utilities like "ls", "basename" or "cp", the script requires the GNU coreutils, busybox utils, the "BSD coreutils" seen in FreeBSD or similar core system utilities.

Officially supported systems:

• Debian Linux and derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc)
• Arch Linux and derivatives (EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc)
• RHEL, CentOS, Alma Linux and other systems based on RHEL
• Fedora Linux
• Void Linux
• Alpine Linux
• FreeBSD

If you are able to test Andromeda on MacOS or other BSD-based systems besides FreeBSD, please contact me at [email protected]
