New version of Pwman3 released

The De-Facto password manager a lot of people use is KeePass, which is truly cross-platform, running on all major OSs, there is even an Android client, with QT and console clients. KeePass is full of features and is really great for personal use. However, for working in a team it KeePass simply horrible because the database is file based. So the following scenario is really possible. A user opens the files over the shared directory (there is no locking...). He makes some changes and saves it again. In parallel, another team member has a KeePass open, and he makes changes in the his copy of the file, which does not include the changes from the first user. He then saves the file, and the entries that were made by the first team member are lost. Pwman3, uses a network database such as MySQL or Postgresql (there is also support for SQLite for personal use). Hence, it is much more appropriate for use by a team of system administrators or power users. I picked up the development of of Pwman3 about 4 years ago, fixing little bugs, which I found using it. I then released new versions steadily, realizing how bad was the code written, and with no testing at all. It became quite a challenge, and then I decided to do a complete rewrite of the software starting from the most important feature of a password manager, the cryptographic engine. Soon, I re-worte the whole text user interface and finally the database drivers. After 6 months of development, mostly at nights and weekend, I am happy to release the new version, accompanied by proper documentation and testing.

Here you can find the documentation of Pwamn3 and the newly released version is on pypi. Pwamn3 has been tested on Mac OSX, Windows and Linux. It is easy to install and to work with. You should give it a try!
