XMonad.Prompt.Pass

This module provides 3 XMonad.Prompt to ease passwords manipulation (generate, read, remove):

• one to lookup passwords in the password-storage.
• 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 setuped through an environment variable PASSWORD_STORE_DIR. If this is set, use the content of the variable. Otherwise, the password store is located on user's home $HOME/.password-store.

Source:

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

Usages

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

For detailed instructions on:

• editing your key bindings, see XMonad.Doc.Extending.
• how to setup the password storage, see http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/about/
