The third stable release of pwd.sh password manager with usability improvements, new features and configuration options (detailed in README).
Version 3.0 also addresses the following known issues:
- When creating passwords, having to read the password back after writing it (sometimes only to find it does not meet requirements). The password can now remain on the clipboard for the timeout duration before being saved. If the password is not compatible, just Control-C and generate a new one.
- Password generated with
gpg
often lacked special character diversity and did not meet website requirements. The character set is now a configurabletr
setting to increase password quality.
