Multiple users for same application

[iia]

If I understand correct, currently there can be only one user:password pair for an application.

Wouldn't it be nice to allow multiple user:password pairs for the same application? For example, for people who have two accounts for some service with different privileges? This could be a potential feature upgrade.

Hello @iia! Yes, you are right, currently there is only one password for each application name. So you can't have multiple passwords for one app named "Github", for instance.

The way I handle that is by having multiple entries in Rooster. For example:

rooster generate GoogleWork work@email.com # work account
rooster generate Google my@email.com       # personal account

rooster get ggl

• If you do rooster get ggl, Rooster asks you if you wantGoogleWork or GooglePersonal,
• If you do rooster get google, you get the password for your personal account,
• And if you do rooster get googlework, you get the password for your work account.

Does that meet your needs?

If not, please explain in more detail what your use case is so we can try and find a way for Rooster to work for you.

Hi,

Yah that works too.

I had a different mental model of the system previously. As in, when creating a new user:password pair the pair must belong to one application and the users of an application must be unique.

Great to hear that works for you 😃

FYI the only thing unique in Rooster is the app name. Usernames and passwords can be duplicated.

If you have any other questions, feel free to open a new issue or get back via email.

Cheers !
