passmenu-jsvm

Adaptation of passmenu, a dmenu-based interface to pass, to better suit my personal way of organising passwords and related info.

Password store structure

Each entry is comprised of a subdirectory with a .gpg file for each field. A field contains a single piece of information, e.g. username, password, url, etc.

Installation

Clone the repository and symlink passmenu-jsvm to a location on your system's $PATH, e.g.

$ ln -s passmenu-jsvm ~/.local/bin/passmenu-jsvm

Usage

• passmenu-jsvm: select an entry, then a field of that entry, then copy it to the clipboard
• passmenu-jsvm --type: select an entry, then a field of that entry, then type it using xdotool
• passmenu-jsvm --autotype: select an entry, then type <username><Tab><password><Ret> using xdotool

Options can be passed to dmenu by defining the variable $DMENU_OPTIONS in ~/.dmenurc. For example, I set the font and colours in mine:

# ~/.dmenurc

DMENU_FN="RobotoCondensed-12"
DMENU_NB="#2E3440"
DMENU_NF="#D8DEE9"
DMENU_SB="#81A1C1"
DMENU_SF="#2E3440"

DMENU_OPTIONS="-fn $DMENU_FN -nb $DMENU_NB -nf $DMENU_NF -sf $DMENU_SF -sb $DMENU_SB"

Tips

• Bind passmenu-jsvm --type/--autotype to a key, e.g. Super+p for very easy access
