Run

Configure

You need to first configure the password manager by choosing a MASTER PASSWORD. This config step is only required to be executed once.

python config.py make

The above command will make a new configuration by asking you to choose a MASTER PASSWORD. This will generate the DEVICE SECRET, create db and required tables.

python config.py delete

The above command will delete the existing configuration. Doing this will completely delete your device secret and all your entries and you will loose all your passwords. So be aware!

python config.py remake

The above command will first delete the existing configuration and create a fresh new configuration by asking you to choose a MASTER PASSWORD, generate the DEVICE SECRET, create the db and required tables.
