## What does it do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[DisPass](http://dispass.babab.nl) is a passphrase generator.
|
||
|
|
`dispass.el` is an [Emacs](http://gnu.org/software/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 [friend](http://babab.nl) 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 [Conkeror](http://conkeror.org) interface
|
||
|
|
project for it. These all suffer from not being Emacs modules and are
|
||
|
|
thus unusable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Obviously it requires both [DisPass](http://dispass.babab.nl) and
|
||
|
|
[Emacs](http://gnu.org/software/emacs). Beyond that there shouldn't be
|
||
|
|
any requirements.

## Download
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can browse the
|
||
|
|
[git source](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el), download a
|
||
|
|
snapshot
|
||
|
|
[tar.gz](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.tar.gz)
|
||
|
|
or [zip](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/master.zip)
|
||
|
|
archive or install a snapshot using
|
||
|
|
[MELPA](http://melpa.milkbox.net/). #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, v1.1.2, as a
|
||
|
|
[tar.gz](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.tar.gz)
|
||
|
|
or [zip](https://github.com/dispass/dispass.el/archive/1.1.2.zip)
|
||
|
|
archive or install it using [Marmalade](http://marmalade-repo.org).
|
||
|
|
**Note:** v1.1.2 needs DisPass v0.2.0, it won't work with recent
|
||
|
|
snapshots from the git sources.

dispass.el is released under the ISC license. The license can be found

file (or follow the link).
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Since DisPass uses the ISC license, I thought it would be polite to
|
||
|
|
use the same license.
