Workflow to interact with gopass from Alfred 3 on MacOS. You will need an Alfred 3 license in order to use workflows. Currently querying entries and copying username or password to clipboard is supported.
Download the latest release package from github or build your own via make release in checked out repository.
The plugin can also type a username / password combination automatically. You can start the action by issuing gpa in Alfred.
By default, a field called autotype will be used. The value can contain various statements.
Example: user :tab :pass
However, there are more options:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| user / pass | A field name (not prefixed with :. Can reference any other available field. |
:tab |
Issues a tab key |
:enter |
Enter key |
:space |
Space key |
:delete |
Delete key |
:delay |
Waits one second before continuing |
:clearField |
Clears the current input field (Issues Ctrl+A + backspace) |
A rather typical example looks like the following:
myPassword
---
autotype: :clearField user :tab pass :tab :tab :enter :delay :someYk :enter
user: myUsername
usernamePassword: user :tab pass
You might have noted :someYk as option which was not listed in the table above. Not all commands can be hardcoded in a table like the one above. For example, you might have a form that requires a one-time-password such as from a YubiKey. You might be able to retrieve the information from a bash command - however.
Those commands can be put to a .gopass_autotype_handlers.json json file. It can be place in $XDG_CONFIG, which defaults to your HOME directory. Example: /users/someUser/.gopass_autotype_handlers.json
An example file content looks like the following:
{
":someYk": "/usr/local/bin/ykman oath code | grep \"YubiKey:name\" | sed 's/.*\\([0-9]\\{6\\}\\)$/\\1/g'"
}This example will retrieve a current TOTP token from the YubiKey by asking ykman for the current value and converts the output to the token.
The gpa command will always run the autotype field. However, you can also use gpf to autotype any available field in the gopass file. This also includes the trigger options from the table above.
