tpm - tiny password manager
tpm COMMAND ENTRY
tpm is a tiny shell script which is heavily inspired and largely compatible with pass(1). Just like pass it uses gpg2(1) to securely store your passwords, the major difference between pass and tpm is that the latter is a lot more minimal. Furthermore, tpm is written entirely in POSIX shell.
Invoking tpm consists of specifying a command either insert or show and supplying one entry as a target. If insert is specified as a command tpm will create a new entry and prompt for the corresponding password. If you specify show as a command tpm will write the password for the given entry to standard output.

Create a new entry with a random password using pwgen(1):
$ pwgen -1 | tpm insert system/new-user
Create a new entry called 'system/root':
$ tpm insert system/root
Write your 'system/root' password to standard output:
$ tpm show system/root
Copy your 'system/root' password to the clipboard using xclip(1):
$ tpm show system/root | tr -d '\n' | xclip
gpg2(1), pass(1), pwgen(1), xclip(1)
