I used to use this, and then I moved to a real password manager. Like seriously, this doesn’t hold a candle to an actual well-engineered password manager. I use Keepass right now, with MacPass and Keepassium; both excellent apps.
- barbs 6y agoWhat does Keepass do that pass doesn't?
- spicybright 6y agoI've only used keypassx on windows, but the auto fill feature was amazing. You would push a key shortcut, then based on the window title of whatever window has focus, it would simulate key presses into it. So I could type secure credentials into any program on my computer with one key stroke.
- Isognoviastoma 6y agoThat's how I use pass on Linux. A key shortcut is bind to script that calls "xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowname", selects credentials set based on it, asks for master password with pinentry-qt if needed, then types with "xdotool type --file -". It works and is better than placing password in clipboard and than "xdotool type $pass". Likely worse than proper integration with password consumer.
- nulbyte 6y agoInteresting. I just have a keyboard shortcut in i3 that uses dmenu to let you select a credential. Very handy as I have multiple accounts for some sites/apps. Plus, the browser extension has its own keyboard shortcut.
- spicybright 6y agoOhhh, now that's a really clever way to do it! Never ceases to amaze me how flexible xdotool can be.

- aborsy 6y agoCareful: KeePassium only shares a similar name with keepass, that happens to read keepass format; its not associated with the same brand!
