A thin wrapper around the standard pass(1) UNIX utility.

This module provides several prompts to ease password manipulation (generate, read, edit, remove); all of them benefit from the completion system provided by XMonad.Prompt. Specifically, we provide

• two functions to lookup passwords in the password-store:

  • passPrompt copies the password directly to the clipboard.
  • passTypePrompt uses xdotool to type the password directly.
• passGeneratePrompt generates a password for a given password label that the user inputs.
• passEditPrompt edits a password for a given password label that the user inputs.
• passRemovePrompt deletes a stored password for a given password label that the user inputs.

The password store is setup through an environment variable $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR, or $HOME/.password-store if it is unset. The editor is determined from the environment variable $EDITOR.

You can use this module with the following in your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs:

import XMonad.Prompt.Pass

Then add a keybinding for passPrompt, passGeneratePrompt, passRemovePrompt, passEditPrompt or passTypePrompt:

  , ((modMask , xK_p)                              , passPrompt def)
  , ((modMask .|. controlMask, xK_p)               , passGeneratePrompt def)
  , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_p)                 , passEditPrompt def)
  , ((modMask .|. controlMask  .|. shiftMask, xK_p), passRemovePrompt def)
