Sorry, I should have written more clearly: the functionality you want -- gpg unlocked by login password -- is already available, implemented, and easy to use. Look around on your distribution. It exists.

Then you should also be using disk encryption, for your browser history and whatever else.

Your system is basically the same. pass is not a "complete application", but it's actually just a tiny shellscript. (RTFA...). You have to reenter the master password if that's the way GPG is setup. Or you don't have to reenter it, if it's

It'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

If you want to unlock on log-in, just have your gpg key unlocked by your login password. Gnome keychain is capable of this. Your request is a definite possibility. I prefer having the key + passphrase over just a passphrase. It makes it mor

It shouldn't be considered secret, period. If you're worried about non-secret data being used to attack you (the kind of data people can acquire by digging through your trash when you bring it out to the curb, for example), then your likely

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 whate

Whoa nice you have a GPG smart card? Very cool. There were some people giving out USB tokens at FOSDEM which looked sort of neat but I haven't gotten it working reliably. GPG is mostly easy to use -- gpg -e -r someone@somewhere.com file.txt

Hopefully you're able to fashion pass into storing the data you want? I don't like using my login key as a passphrase; seems flimsy, and I don't like having to use PAM tie-ins and whatnot when I change the system password. GPG has gpg-agent

This was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I don't want this big behemoth. I want something small and easy and simple. A file for each password. If I want additional data, I can just use multiline. Or, I can establish a .meta convention i

This seems really complicated. The whole point is to keep things simple and easy and not bloated with lots of applications and database formats and whatnot. In any case, the GPG files have the ID of the key needed to decrypt them, so you ca

Better yet, just allow directory indexes on /js and /css, showing the smaller files that the minified one is built from. You can do this, and also minify them using a Makefile. zx2c4@albali ~/zx2c4.com $ cat Makefile JS_DIR = js CSS
