password-store using pass & tomb on mobile linux

This video shows

  • unlocking of my #Librem5
  • starting pass-mgr-compact from phosh application menu
  • #pass-mgr-compact tries to unlock my pass-tomb using a #LibremKey(#NitroKey) connected to the Librem5s usb-c
    • for the tomb version provided by #PureOS/#Debian #Bullseye I didn't find any way to make it graphically ask for my password to use sudo only once
    • there's a small pass wrapper script installed on my Librem5 that starts pass inside the terminal foot to give me a way to enter my password for sudo
  • I made a whole list of passwords in my demo password store to demonstrate how difficult it can be to find the one needed (don't try the sites in that list, they'll contain malware or will not exist ;-) )
    • to make it easier I made a favourites subdir and symlinked the most important password into it to get it at the top of the long list
  • in pass-mgr-compact I double tapped/clicked on my password to get it decrypted (using the openpgp card in my LibremKey) and copied to the clipboard
    • the thin blue bar appearing on the left at the bottom of pass-mgr-compact and moving towards the right signals the time I have left with the password in my clipboard to paste it to the place it is needed at
    • after this time it will be replaced by nothing or whatever has been on the clipboard before
  • I start #tangram which opens my #microblogpub as a predefined tab
  • There I paste the password from the clipboard to log-in - sonny, the author of tangram is with some content on the top of the list of my stream
  • what cannot be seen well in the video: I close pass-mgr-compact and it decides to close my password store which needs again my password to sudo
  • I enter the password in the #foot terminal in which pass is started and the password store is closed

This workflow makes it easy to use a pass #tomb on a mobile device. Thanks to chrisu281080 for the great, mobile-friendly gui pass-mgr-compact!
