This is the automatically generated usage text for gnu-pw-mgr.
The text printed is the same whether selected with the help

the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
more-help
is disabled on platforms without a working
fork(2)

used to select the program, defaulting to ‘more’. Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

The valid "cclass" option keywords are: alpha upper lower digit special no-special no-alpha no-triplets pin alnum two-upper two-lower two-digit two-special or an integer mask with any of the lower 14 bits set or you may use a numeric representation. Preceding these with a '!' will clear the bits, specifying 'none' will clear all bits, and 'all' will set them all. Multiple entries may be passed as an option argument list. The password id should contain a fairly consistent permutation of the URL you are logging in to. "Fairly" because you may wish to vary your financial institutions differently than your newspaper. e.g. "my/banK$moC" versus "bLog-oRg". And then surround the id with prefixes and suffixes. Separate these with punctuation characters to make dictionary attacks more difficult. Only the passwords for one password id are ever printed. If the command line contains multiple operands (arguments after the options), then they are assembled into one password id with space characters separating the original operands. One password is printed for every configured seed value. Seed values are added by specifying just the '--tag' and '--text' options. The tag is also printed with each password. The '--login-id', '--length', '--cclass' and '--specials' options are associated with each password id. Password ids are never stored anywhere. Please send bug reports to: <bkorb@gnu.org> |
