NAME
yapet - text based password manager
SYNOPSIS
yapet [[-c] | [-h] | [-V]] [[-i] | [-r {rcfile}]] [[-s] | [-S]] [-t {sec}] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
yapet provides a text user interface for storing passwords and associated information (referred to as
password records) in files encrypted on disk. A password record is comprised of a record name, host name,
user name, password, and comment. A master password is required to encrypt/decrypt the password records
in a given file. yapet does not impose a limit of password records per file.
Files created by yapet always have the suffix .pet. Also, if a file is loaded using the command line,
yapet appends the suffix .pet to the filename unless the filename includes this suffix already. By
default, yapet refuses to load files not having a file mode of 0600. This behavior can be changed by
providing the -s option when starting yapet or using a configuration file (see yapet_config(5), and the
section called “OPTIONS”).
After loading a file, the record name of each password record is displayed in a list. Existing password
records can be opened by selecting them and pressing Enter. By default, existing password records are
opened in read-only mode to avoid accidental changes. Pressing Ctrl+r toggles between read-only and edit
mode.
On terminals supporting colors, the password is hidden if the password record dialog is in read-only
mode. The password can be made visible, by either going to edit mode (Ctrl+r), or by pressing Ctrl+t.
yapet relies on OpenSSL for encryption and decryption of password records. The cipher for encryption and
decryption is Blowfish with a 448 bits key.
Other features of yapet are:
• Screen lock after a certain amount of inactivity when password file is loaded (see also
yapet_config(5) and the section called “OPTIONS”).
• Password records opened in read-only mode (default) hide the password. Toggling into edit mode
reveals the password (see the section called “Password Record Dialog Keys”).
• Import of CSV files (see csv2yapet).
• Export of YAPET files to CSV files (see yapet2csv).
• Integrated password generator.

Password Record Dialog Keys
Following function keys are recognized in the password record dialog, besides cursor movement keys (see
the section called “Cursor Movement Keys”):
Ctrl+r
Toggle the password record dialog between read-only and edit mode. In read-only mode, yapet hides the
password (only supported on color terminals).
Ctrl+t
Toggle between hiding and showing the password, without setting the password record dialog to edit
mode (only supported on color terminals). Has no effect if the password record dialog is in edit
mode.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c
Show copyright information.
-h
Print help text.
-i
Do not read the configuration file.
-r rcfile
Read the configuration file specified by rcfile. If this option is not given, the default
configuration file read is $HOME/.yapet unless -i is specified.
-s
Disable the check for the owner and file mode when loading files. Without this option, yapet checks
password files for having the same owner as the user running yapet and verifies that the file mode is
strictly 0600. If one of these conditions are not met, yapet refuses to load the file. Providing this
options disables those checks and yapet will load files with owners other than the process owner of
yapet and file modes different from 0600.
New files saved while this option is active will have the file mode set according to umask(2).
-S
Enable the check for the owner and file mode when loading files. This option makes yapet to load
password files having the owner set to the process owner of yapet and the file mode strictly set to
0600 only. If one of these conditions are not met, yapet refuses to load the file.
New files saved while this option is active will have the file mode set to 0600.
This is the default mode.
-t sec
Set the timeout until the screen is locked to sec seconds. The minimum time allowed is 10 seconds. If
a smaller value is provided, the timeout will be set to 10 seconds.
Default: 10 min.

FILES
