Hi, this should work, but it seems you are using a very old version of the host app - please install the latest version and let me know if you still have the issue.
Oh I see. I will try to update then.
OK so by the host app you probably mean browserpass host app, not pass
itself, right?
Correct, download here.
browserpass doesn't use pass
at all by the way, only gpg
to decrypt files 🙂
Yep, that's the one. Make sure to remove the old binary, there was a case when someone had two binaries installed and the old one took precedence.
Well that's the version I actually installed it with so I have no other binaries. It does not seem to work. How would I check (just in case) I have two binaries of the host app?
The file /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts
or $HOME/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts
should have a full path to browserpass binary (you likely only have one of these files), copy the full path and execute /full/path/to/browserpass -v
- should print the version 2.0.21.
OK so I located file com.dannyvankooten.browserpass.json
at /Users/$USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts
. I looked into it, it looks like this:
{
"name": "com.dannyvankooten.browserpass",
"description": "Browserpass binary for the Chrome extension",
"path": "/Users/<user_name>/Documents/browserpass-darwinx64/browserpass-darwinx64",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_origins": [
"chrome-extension://naepdomgkenhinolocfifgehidddafch/",
"chrome-extension://klfoddkbhleoaabpmiigbmpbjfljimgb/"
]
}
when I use the path
like this /Users/<username>/Documents/browserpass-darwinx64/browserpass-darwinx64 -v
it gives me: Browserpass host app version: 2.0.21
Btw I'm using Chrome with two user profiles. Both of them have browserpass
extension.
Awesome, so what's the current status, is everything good, is everything the same as before upgrading, is it worse? 🙂
It's still the same. I get the same message. When I unlock password using pass
then it works fine.
Could this be caused by some kind of settings on the GPG key itself? I just don't get any prompt to unlock the GPG key from the extension itself.
I have a suspicion that you are experiencing some kind of variation of #13, try these steps from FAQ: https://github.com/browserpass/browserpass#does-not-work-on-macos-native-host-has-exited
OK I followed FAQ and it is fixed now. I had to create ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
and ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
files though but it's all good now it seems. Thanks.
Awesome!
General information
brew
2.0.21
Exact steps to reproduce the problem
pass
for some timebrowserpass
extension, it reports:What should happen?
I'm not sure if this is correct behaviour but maybe a password prompt should popup asking for my GPG password.
What happened instead?
Displayed error.
