* dispass.el Emacs wrapper
Generate and disperse/dispell passwords.
~dispass.el~ is an emacs wrapper around [[http://dispass.babab.nl][DisPass]].
** Installation
Place this file somewhere on your filesystem, either in your
~load-path~ or somewhere else which you will have to add to your
~load-path~, like so:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "/location/of/dispass.el")
#+end_src
And then ~load~, ~require~ or ~autoload~ it in your emacs init file, for
example:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'dispass)
#+end_src
/Or/ if you have ~package.el~ you could use ~package-install-file~.
** Customization
~dispass.el~ only offers customization of the ~dispass-executable~
variable for the moment. This is the location where the DisPass
executable is located.
** Usage
Using dispass.el is simple, once installed. Either call =dispass= to
recall a previously generated password or call =dispass-create= to
generate a new password.
The only real difference between the two is that =dispass-create=
asks to confirm the password. Both will ask for a label.
When a numeric argument is used when calling either =dispass-create=
or =dispass=, that argument is sent to the dispass program along with
the ~-l~ switch. This cuts the length of the password to that many
characters. For example:
#+begin_example
C-5 M-x dispass<RET> test<RET> test<RET>
#+end_example
will generate a password of 5 characters for label "test" and
password "test".
Once a password has been generated it is inserted into the kill
ring and the system's clipboard so it can be easily inserted into
password field, this makes the generated password easy to see in
plaintext in the =kill-ring= variable, though.
