No Pass Go is a password/account manager written in rust, inspired by pass I jokingly call No Pass Go the standard post-Unix password manager, because as I see it, its an extension of the concept of pass, and this fixes a few issues of pass that I saw. The name is a reference to the Monopoly board game phrase: “Do not pass Go; do not collect $200.”

Filepath arguments given to this program should be relative to the account store folder. If the filepath to the account file is /.passwords/email/google.com/username, then you only need to provide `email/google.com/username` as an argument

Other commands are provided but the below commands are all you need to use this program.

1. npg show shows the password, and optionally the metadata of a given account folder e.g. email/google.com/username as an argument.
2. npg add adds an account to the store, it requires a password and a filepath as arguments.
3. npg remove removes an account from the store, you only need to provide the filepath.

• It stores metadata for you, including usernames, emails, and service names (websites).
• The metadata/password is stored in a json format before it’s encrypted.
• The accounts are stored individually in their own files, the names of which are the hashes of the filepath given.
• The filepaths are stored in an encrypted index file called pass_tree.asc. Each filepath has its own line, and are formatted as path/to/accountFile:hash_of_filepath.

• Since pass_tree.asc is encrypted, that means you have to decrypt it to list all the password paths, and this means that you have to put in your private GPG key before showing the paths in, say, a rofi script.
• It only works on Unix-like systems, because of the way different things are handled, such as shell commands, or filepaths.
• This program is only a CLI, which means you can script it, but it doesn’t have first party GUI support, which some people may not like.

You need the rust compiler to run this program. A universal install guide is available here

After you have rust installed, rename example_config.toml to config.toml and replace the fields in the file with your public GPG key, and the directory where you want the store to be. Then move config.toml to ~/.config/npg/config.toml.

I recommend installing this program to ~/.local/bin, as show below

git clone https://github.com/ImNotTwig/no-pass-go-rs
cd no-pass-go-rs
cargo build --release
cp ./target/release/npg ~/.local/bin
