pass-secrets

CLI Application that provides the Freedesktop Secret Service using Pass as its backend!

Status

Currently working to store secrets with protonmail-bridge. I have not done tests with other applications; if it doesn't work, please open an issue!

How to build

pass-secrets requires pass and sdbus-c++ to be installed on your machine. Rapidjson and nanoid are included in the repo.

cd pass-secrets
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then install with sudo make install and uninstall with sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt. This will by default install a systemd user service that can be dbus-activated when enabled.

sudo make install
systemctl --user enable pass-secrets

Alternatively, you can run it in the background in your bashrc/xinitrc.

...
/usr/local/bin/pass-secrets &
...

If you're running pass-secrets on a BSD, or possibly a non-systemd Linux system, you'll need to start a DBus session bus before starting pass-secrets. For instance, your ~/.bash_profile could contain:

if ! pgrep -qf -U ${USER:-$(id -u)} dbus.\*--session; then
    dbus-daemon --session --fork --address=unix:runtime=yes 2>/dev/null
    export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus
fi
