Author

This package can create database of passwords for KeePass.

Each site may be included in a group. The class can also be used to define a hierarchy of groups and have a icon image be associated with each group.

It can take the definitions of user account to access sites and the respective passwords and creates a database file for use with the KeePass browser extension.

The resulting password database file is generated using the KeePass utility program that can be run from the command line interface shell.

KeePass is a password management application that allows its users to securely store passwords that can be used to access certain sites.

With this application, users do not need to remember and type those passwords every time they need to access a site that is protected by requiring its users to enter a password.

This package allows PHP scripts to run from the command line to create a database file with given site passwords.

<?php

require_once('include/KeePassWriter.inc.php');

$kpx=new KeePassWriter(
   
getenv("HOME") . "/sample.kdbx", // database to create
   
"letmein", // passphrase for new database
   
20, // timeout for writing to keepassxc-cli (optional)
   
'/usr/bin/keepassxc-cli'); // path to binary (optional)

// groups are created automatically, but if we want to assign notes
// or specific icons then we use 'addgroup'
// addgroup($path, $notes, $icon=false)
