ckp

Command line utility for Copying Keepass Passwords

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/pylipp/ckp.git#egg=ckp

On Python >=3.6, I recommend installation via pipx:

pipx install git+https://github.com/pylipp/ckp

Usage

Set up a database at ~/.database.kdbx and add some entries (or move an existing database). Query an entry from the command line by running

ckp <entry>

You're prompted for the master password. If correct, and if the specified entry exists, the password is copied to the system clipboard (check the pyperclip package for system dependencies). The system clipboard is cleared after ten seconds.
