master_password
master_password is a Python implementation of the Master Password (Lyndir/MasterPassword, Site) algorithm.
Installation
Either install with pip using the command:
$ pip install master_passwordOr directly from the here:
$ git clone https://github.com/MitalAshok/master_password.git
$ python master_password/setup.py installNote that if your Python installation does not come with a hashlib.scrypt function, please also install scrypt as well.
$ sudo pip install master_password[scrypt]On Windows, scrypt doesn't work, so install with cryptography or pyscrypt instead.
> pip install master_password[crypto]
> pip install master_password[pyscrypt](Note that cryptography and pyscrypt work on both OSs, but pyscrypt is much slower. It is only listed for cases where C extensions cannot be installed.)
Usage
Note: All strings are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8, but you can also provide a bytes or bytearray in a different encoding.
To use the command line interface, run as a module.
$ python -m master_password
$ # Or just
$ master_passwordGenerate a password for someone with the fullname John Smith and the password example password for the domain example.org
import master_password
mpw = master_password.MPW('John Smith', 'example password')
print(mpw.password('example.org')) # --> 'Dicd0!JoniLeza'Create a master_password.MPW directly from a key without making a key from a username and password
key = mpw.key # Get the key from the old mpw to reuse
# Or you can calculate a key manually
key = master_password.MPW.calculate_key(
password='example password',
salt=master_password.MPW.calculate_salt(
name='John Smith'
)
)
new_mpw = master_password.MPW.from_key(key)
print(new_mpw == mpw) # --> TrueGenerate using any template
mpw.generate(
site, # Non-optional arg, e.g., 'example.org'. Site to generate for.
counter=1, # Increment counter for a new password.
# Must be less than 2 ** 32.
context=None, # Like counter, changes password. Meant for security
# questions, as it is easier to remember.
template='long', # The name of the template
namespace=None # The namespace to use. Will not change the namespace
# used for the key. Defaults to `self.namespace.name`.
)
## Shortcuts
mpw.password(
site, # Non-optional arg
counter=1,
template='long'
) # context=None, namespace=self.namespace.password
mpw.login(
site, # Non-optional arg
counter=1,
) # context=None, template='name', namespace=self.namespace.answer
mpw.answer(
site, # Non-optional arg
counter=1,
context=''
) # template='phrase', namespace=self.namespace.answer
mpw.pin(
site, # Non-optional arg
counter=1
) # context=None, template='pin', namespace=self.namespace.passwordDon't store the name
print(mpw.name) # --> 'John Smith'
# Either create a new MPW and recalculate the key
mpw = master_password.MPW('John Smith', 'example password', keep_name=False)
print(mpw.name) # --> None
# Or use the existing key
mpw = master_password.MPW.from_key(mpw.key, name=None)
# You can specify an arbitrary name here.Create a new name space (Note: The passwords generated depend on the name space. If you use the same name space, you will get the same results. By default, com.lyndir.masterpassword name spaces are used, to match with the original app)
example_ns = master_password.MPWNameSpace.create(
name='org.example', # Namespace to use in the seed with the URL
password='org.example', # Namespace to use when creating a password
login='org.example.login', # Namespace to use when creating a login
answer='org.example.answer' # Namespace to use when creating an
# answer to a secret question
)
# This is equivalent to
example_ns = master_password.MPWNameSpace.create(
name='org.example'
) # '', '.login' and '.answer' are concatenated automatically when a
# unique namespace is not provided.
# Different namespaces are needed to avoid the same password being generated for
# different fields.
print(example_ns is master_password.MPWNameSpace('org.example')) # --> True
# You can access namespaces by their name.Note that all the classes defined under the master_password module should not be modified after they are created.
