Note: cwpass has been discontinued and is no longer available for download or supported.

cwpass is a packaging of the classic Unix-style password manager pass for Windows systems. It provides a self-contained Cygwin-based environment with GnuPG, pass, and required utilities already included, offering a ready-to-use command-line password-store solution for Windows.

Features

  • Standard pass workflow: Implements the standard pass password-store workflow on Windows
  • Bundled GnuPG: Includes its own GnuPG, no external installation required
  • Standard storage format: Stores passwords as individually encrypted files using the conventional ~/.password-store layout
  • Common commands: Supports commonly used commands such as show, insert, generate, rm, and grep
  • Portable: Unzip and run, no installation or system modifications required
  • Wide compatibility: Works on Windows Vista and newer

Project lifetime: Nov 2025 - Feb 2026
