Usernames aren't considered to be privileged data. If you're relying on your usernames being secret, then you're making a big mistake and you should rethink things. Alternatively, generic names.
For search, just use grep. "pass | grep whatever" has worked pretty well for me when the tab completion did not. Or would you suggest an alternative approach? I'm open to ideas.
- gyepi 14y agoYou're right usernames aren't considered privileged, but the list of services and associated usernames is not the kind of information I would want to necessarily make public. The names alone would be more revealing that I care to share. Yeah, 'pass | grep foo' would work for search. I missed the default behaviour.
- zx2c4 14y agoIt's not as if you're putting the names on the internet. They're still on your hard drive, beside your non-encrypted web browser session and history. For this kind of protection, even though it's leaked in a million places (unencrypted SMTP connections between mail servers when you receive the 'welcome to funworld' email, for example), there's disk encryption.
