Hello everyone,

I've installed password-store for everyone to use. For those unfamiliar, it's a great password manager for unix-like OSes. Rather than a proprietary database, it uses a structure of directories and text files encrypted using the GnuPG key specified during setup. This allows easy portability, diversity in algorithm availability, and ease of backups.

The utility is called via /usr/local/bin/pass

Enjoy! ~ahriman

Nice ahriman !

That is my password manager of choice since a long time ago. A little bit more information about it, for the folks that may not know it:

pass generate -c email/me@foo.com

This one generates a random password, stores it on `email/me@foo.com` and copies it to the clipboard. Pretty useful when you're singing in to a new service.

pass -c site/foo.com/username

This one gets the password for username @ foo.com and puts it on your clipboard.

pass edit foo/bar/baz

This one edits one of your entries. Mind that generate won't ask for password, as you're encrypting to your GPG public key, but edit or show will. It's a good idea to have GPG agent setup, so you can control how/when passwords are requested.

If you think a wiki page for this can be useful, just tell me and I'll submit a PR with some instructions.

Cheers,
