An Alfred 4 Workflow for Pass

Pacmax Page

Alfred forum page

This is an Alfred 2/3 workflow for Pass - the standard Unix password manager. It's based on passmenu, which is available for Linux.

Setup

To make this work you need:

  • Pass (obviously) -- needs to be set up with password store in ~/.password-store/.
  • gpg-agent -- install with brew
  • pinentry-mac -- also install with brew (this is GUI frontend for gpg-agent).
  • (optionally) the fuzzywuzzy and (also optionally) python-Levenshtein Python modules (install with pip3 install --user fuzzywuzzy python-Levenshtein)

Next configure gpg-agent to use pinentry-mac and not the bundled one, editing ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac

If you prefer to keep the terminal version of pinentry you can use the pinentry.sh wrapper from this repository as the pinentry-program. This will use the ncurses version when in console and the GUI version for Alfred etc.

You can also take a look at this blog post from @bshiller.

GPG tweaking

You can tweak some of the gpg-agent settings in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

max-cache-ttl 7200

After 7200 seconds, GPG will forget your master password.

Installation

After your system is set up as described above, download the latest package from Pacmax. Locate the file in Finder, right-click on it and choose 'Open With -> Alfred'. You will be prompted to install the workflow, so go ahead. Next fire up the Alfred console (Alt-Space by default) and type one of the commands described below.

Usage

Basic Alfred commands:

pass <filter terms>

This will search through your passwords using the filter terms you provided.

The password will be copied to clipboard and cleared after 45 seconds.

pass-generate <id>

Calls pass generate to add a new password with default length of 20 chars.

pass-otp <filter terms>

This will search through your OTP passwords (requires pass-otp) using the filter terms you provided.

Development

To generate the pass.alfredworkflow file (which you can import to Alfred), just use

make
