Ping.
the state of being logged in is stored on disk. if you have never logged in before, you will get a password prompt, but if you have, it will just refresh its credentials from the file on disk instead. you can clear the on disk state by running rbw purge
.
the reference to rbw generate
in that part of the readme is referring to passing it additional arguments to automatically store the generated password in a new entry. it would probably be clearer for that documentation to refer to rbw add
rather than rbw generate
- i can make that change.
rbw ls
is showing a newly added entry because you ran rbw sync
- it ran successfully without prompting because you were already logged in, and updated the database.
i have clarified this a bit in 0c35b70808b69f64da3dd1fa1f0e0f90c860d75d, let me know if you have any more questions.
Hello,
The behaviour of
gen
,login
, andsync
seems counter-intuitive to what's described in theREADME
:However, neither
gen
,login
, norsync
prompt for the password - onlyls
does:This is most likely me not fully understanding what happens behind the scenes but, at least to a layman, this seems counter-intuitive. According to the descritpion, one would expect both
login
andsync
to prompt for a password, no? Also, why wouldgen
do both? Why would it do either? Isn't it supposed to just generate a password?Also,
ls
does display an entry newly added via the web browser add-on shortly before running the above test so it seems like it is doing a sync, no?I'd appreciate if you could explain in a bit more detail what individual commands actually do behind the scenes :^)
Ta!
