Throwing everything in a single database file with a designated schema, YAML or whatever else, is exactly what I was trying to avoid. Keep it simple. Single files are the way to go.

Should be pretty easy to write such an app, considering the design of pass is so simple.

I'd still recommend using gpg so you get the nice time-out features of gpg-agent, but otherwise, if you still don't want to use it, sure, it's trivial. Change calls to "gpg" to "cat" in the source code. It's less than 300 lines of simple sh

If anyone has the motivation to port this to Windows-anything, I will laugh, cringe, and then give you a nice pat on the back. That said, the design is pretty simple. There are gpg text files in folders. Decrypt them to reveal passwords, en

Usernames are not secrets. If you're taking tons of considerations for encrypting your usernames, your security model is just plain wrong, and you will be strongly disappointed when you survey the rest of the landscape (web browsers, email

My pleasure! Glad you dig.

Yea so... I could make a nice fancy app, which I could do super quick because the design of pass is so simple. But instead I just use the terminal. Full clipboard support and everything with it. By the way, I'm using an N950.

True. Autosyncers work with pass just as well. DropBox to your heart's content!

by zx2c4 14y ago
Cool. You can put pass's password-store in Dropbox too!

Misses the point.

All the password management is handled by gpg-agent, which can be set to time-out your credentials after X seconds, on screen lock, when a bluetooth device moves out of proximity, or when it senses a disturbance in the force, as if millions

Awesome idea. Since pass is just normal files, dropbox & friends can do things seamlessly. Didn't have that in mind originally, but it seems like it'd work really well.

More bloated password managers (like 1pass, for example) come with mobile clients and cloud services. This thread will probably include many such replies. Pass comes with integrated git support, for syncing and logging. This is what I use w

Not that interested in kludging around with whatever interfaces and python helper scripts and exporters and importers and yada yada. I just want passwords in simple text files with no frills, and so should you. The Unix Way. This password s

It is flexible enough to do anything at all. It is super duper flexible. There is no enforced scheme or organization. You can do things how you like. One possibility I listed before was: Put your password in Amazon/bookreader and the other

Just poked at some random extension on the Alfred webpage. Looks like it's two plists and a png inside a zip archive that has a .alfredextension suffix. The plists have a pretty comprehensible XML format, and it should be easy enough to ada

The point is to avoid the horrible bloat of 1pass and kees. I don't want a new database format. I just want simple files in simple folders, nothing fancy, nothing schmancy, easy to maintain, portable, standard.

You can name the files whatever you want and put them in whatever kind of directory organization you want. You can also use multi-line mode to store additional information. (One thing I suppose I should add, then, is the ability for the cli

This would be totally awesome if you tinkered with this. I've been thinking about something similar too. It doesn't even have to be super complex, either. Shoot me an email (bottom of the page) and let's talk.

I'm not really a Mac guy so I haven't played with Alfred, but from what I understand it's a launcher of sorts. Will it run executables that are in PATH with supplied arguments? If so, then you should be good to go. Or is there potential for

Yea, this would have been better. Will keep in mind for next time -- can't change it now.

Sorry, but this isn't the case for me. IssuedAuthSubTokens shows a google talk authorization (bitlbee...), google calendar, and chrome. But if I try subscribing to LKML for a few weeks, gmail becomes completely unusable.

Yes, this is how mine started, and it works alright, except you don't have the niceties of clipboard management, password generation, really easy insertions, or revision logging. Mine started out as basically identical to yours though.

by zx2c4 14y ago
Yea that sounds quite nice. Any suggestion on the best way to do this? I suppose there could be browser plugins that call out to pass, but what about a generic system? What would you recommend?
689.
by zx2c4 14y ago
Well, since pass is a shell script, and thus has no compilation, you don't need pwgen, and then you can just use "some-generator-program | pass insert blah" as you mentioned. For me, though pass generate Cheese 20 is a lot easier to remembe

Cool! Hmm yea - maybe I should highlight that it's just a shell script somewhere. I already say " It is a very short and simple shell script. " in the first paragraph. Maybe I should say something else too. Thinking... Edit: responding to y
