A secure command-line password manager with sudo authentication.

## Features

- Secure password storage with AES-256 encryption
- Generate strong random passwords
- Store and retrieve passwords for different services
- Sudo authentication for added security
- Secure encryption key management
- System keyring integration

## Installation

```bash
pip install password-cli
```

## Quick Start

1. Initialize the password manager:
```bash
pass-cli init
```
This will prompt you to set up your encryption key or generate a secure random one.

2. Authenticate with sudo:
```bash
pass-cli auth
```

## Usage

### Generate Passwords

Generate a random secure password:
```bash
pass-cli generate -l 16
```

Generate and store a password:
```bash
pass-cli generate -l 16 -s github -u johndoe
```

### Store Passwords

Store an existing password:
```bash
pass-cli store -s github -u johndoe -p your-password
```

### Retrieve Passwords

Retrieve a stored password:
```bash
pass-cli retrieve -s github -u johndoe
```

### Check Authentication

Check sudo authentication status:
```bash
pass-cli auth-check
```

### List Passwords

List all stored passwords:
```bash
pass-cli list
```

List passwords for a specific service:
```bash
pass-cli list -s github
```

### Delete Passwords

Delete a stored password (with confirmation):
```bash
pass-cli delete -s github -u johndoe
```

Delete a stored password without confirmation:
```bash
pass-cli delete -s github -u johndoe --force
```

## Security Features

- AES-256 encryption for all stored passwords
- PBKDF2 key derivation with high iteration count
- Secure random password generation using `secrets` module
- System keyring integration for encryption key storage
- Sudo authentication requirement for all operations
- Local storage only - no cloud sync for enhanced security
- Safe deletion with confirmation mechanism
