Passextract

An extension to the pass password manager. Pass works very well and covers about 95% of my needs. Its -c option allows passwords to be easily copied to the clipboard. Unfortunately, email addresses and usernames cannot be so easily copied.

Passextract provides a UI similar to urlview that enables these additional fields to be copied to the system clipboard. Three fields are recognised: emails, usernames, and passwords. They are defined as follows:

This text is ignored

e: email@example.com
u: username
p: secret-password

In order to be recognised by Passextract, those fields must be prefixed by “e: ”, “u: ”, or “p: ” as illustrated above.

Usage

Passextract can be invoked on its own or with the piped output of pass show:

$ pass show github.com | passextract

# or

$ passextract github.com

The included Bash completion file provides the same tab completion options as pass show.

In the interactive UI, the following commands are available:

q or Ctrl-C: Quit and clear the clipboard
          j: Move the selection down
          k: Move the selection up
          g: Move the selection to the top
          G: Move the selection to the bottom
      Enter: Copy the currently selected line
