#+TITLE: dispass.el
#+STARTUP: showall
#+MACRO: version 1.1.2
* What does it do?
[[http://dispass.babab.nl][DisPass]] is a passphrase generator. ~dispass.el~ is an [[http://gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]] wrapper
for DisPass. It tries to improve upon the user interface(s) provided
by DisPass by being an Emacs module, automatically copying generated
passphrases to your clipboard, providing label completion and
enabling easy management of labels.
DisPass is written by a [[http://babab.nl][friend]] of mine and I really liked the idea
of it. But the interface he had for it was not to my liking: it was
not Emacs.
It offers:
- Copying passwords directly to the clipboard, no need for manual
selection and copying.
- Specifying the length of the passphrase by using a numeric prefix
argument.
- Input completion for labels.
- Some label management (adding, removing).
* Alternatives
DisPass provides its own command-line-based interface and a Tk-based
GUI and I also have a [[http://conkeror.org][Conkeror]] interface project for it. These all
suffer from not being Emacs modules and are thus unusable.
* Requirements
Obviously it requires both [[http://dispass.babab.nl][DisPass]] and [[http://gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]]. Beyond that there
shouldn't be any requirements.
* Download
You can browse the [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el][git source]], download a snapshot [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.tar.gz][tar.gz]] or [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.zip][zip]]
archive or install a snapshot using [[http://melpa.milkbox.net/][MELPA]]. *Note:* The snapshots
require a recent snapshot from the DisPass git sources, they won't
work with the latest DisPass release.
You can download the latest release, v{{{version}}}, as a [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.tar.gz][tar.gz]] or
[[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.zip][zip]] archive or install it using [[http://marmalade-repo.org][Marmalade]]. *Note:* v{{{version}}}
needs DisPass v0.2.0, it won't work with recent snapshots from the
git sources.
* License
dispass.el is released under the ISC license. The license can be
found in the header of the [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/blob/master/dispass.el][source]] file (or follow the link).
Since DisPass uses the ISC license, I thought it would be polite to
use the same license.
* Documentation
For further instructions on how to use dispass.el, see the [[https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/blob/master/README.org][README]]
in the source directory (or follow the link).
* Contact
If you find any bugs, have suggestions or criticisms you can send
them to [[mailto:tom@ryuslash.org][tom@ryuslash.org]] or send a message to the
[[mailto:dispass@librelist.com][dispass@librelist.com]] mailing list (your first message is your
registration and will be dropped).
