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 😄
