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
- 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
- the thin blue bar appearing on the left at the bottom of
- 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 tosudo
- 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
