* 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.
