secret-service-scripts

List password entries, search for username, get username and password using Secret Service API.

The default collection (service) in Secret Service is used, this is normally the login collection. On at least Ubuntu this collection is by default open when a user is logged in. So there is no need to enter a master password to unlock the collection.
