Simple, secure, account and credential management

Project description

acct

Made with pop, a Python implementation of Plugin Oriented Programming Made with Python

Simple and secure account management

USAGE

Yaml files containing confidential information can be encrypted for use inside of acct base applications. This is an example of what an acct credentials file might look like.

credentials.yml

provider:
  profile_name:
    username: XXXXXXXXXXXX
    password: XXXXXXXXXXXX
    api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Next use the acct command to encrypt this file using the fernet algorithm:

$ acct encrypt credentials.yml
YeckEnWEGOjBDVxxytw13AsdLgquzhCtFHOs7kDsna8=

The acct command can also be used to decrypt the encrypted file:

$ acct decrypt credentials.yml.fernet --output=yaml --acct-key="YeckEnWEGOjBDVxxytw13AsdLgquzhCtFHOs7kDsna8="

What is POP?
