# `pass` Shilling
|
||
|
|
This one is gonna be short but I've come shill password manager that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Allows for simple generation of passwords
|
||
|
|
* Allows for easy backups to be made
|
||
|
|
* Is compatible with basically any password access workflow you can think of
|
||
|
|
* Is completely foss
|
||
|
|
* Allows for both single and multiline passwords
|
||
|
|
* Allows for optional opt-in versioning using git ( as a subcommand )
|
||
|
|
* Can also be used with other VCS's
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's called `pass` --> https://www.passwordstore.org/
|

|

# Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's an example of how it works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simple Generation of passwords:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
~ pass generate example 100
|
||
|
|
[master 3cfe907] Add generated password for example.
|
||
|
|
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
|
||
|
|
create mode 100644 example.gpg
|
||
|
|
The generated password for example is:
|
||
|
|
9m/Mk5WzLE75=QzhdD;T>}keXOv')FOh~S(=J43OAZ2qkxg<I>hjUJGRpav%oI<yq!ULw0<)@#P|+y0C2~q[O2=&^x{P_\v'K@\B
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Want to straight up just copy it directly? Ok here you go with `-c`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
pass generate example2 100 -c
|
||
|
|
[master 55599f0] Add generated password for example2.
|
||
|
|
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
|
||
|
|
create mode 100644 example2.gpg
|
||
|
|
Copied example2 to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Why tho
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because it's completely dead simple to the point of absurdity. Want a really
|
||
|
|
weird use case; pipe the output into a `qr` command and generate completely
|
||
|
|
random qr codes. Using the same example as above:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
pass example | qr
|

|
Also each password is just a file in a directory tree which means you can sort
|
||
|
|
things however you'd like which is also neat. Anyway that is all I had for now
|
||
|
|
just thought this program I've been using for a while now was cool and deserved
|
||
|
|
a quick post about it :smile:
