XMonad.Prompt.Pass

This module provides 4 XMonad.Prompt to ease password manipulation (generate, read, remove):

• two to lookup passwords in the password-store; one of which copies to the clipboard, and the other uses xdotool to type the password directly.
• one to generate a password for a given password label that the user inputs.
• one to delete a stored password for a given password label that the user inputs.

All those prompts benefit from the completion system provided by the module XMonad.Prompt.

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

Source:

• The password store implementation is the password-store cli.
• Inspired by http://babushk.in/posts/combining-xmonad-and-pass.html

Usage

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

import XMonad.Prompt.Pass

Then add a keybinding for passPrompt, passGeneratePrompt or passRemovePrompt:

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

For detailed instructions on:
