* About

  [[dispass][DisPass]] is a passphrase generator.  ~dispass.el~ is an [[emacs][Emacs]] wrapper
  for [[dispass][DisPass]].

  | Status   | Active     |
  | Language | Emacs Lisp |
  | License  | ISC        |

* Why?

  [[dispass][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.

** Why the license?

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

* Features

  - Copy passwords directly to the clipboard, no need for manual
    selection and copying.
  - Specify the length of the passphrase by using a numeric prefix
    argument.
  - Input completion for labels.
  - Some label management (adding, removing).

* Dependencies

  - [[emacs][Emacs]] :: Probably version 24+, since that is what it's being
             developed on.
  - [[dispass][DisPass]] :: At least v0.1a8, best is a recent git version.

* Download

  There are download links for a ~tar.gz~ and a ~zip~ file of the latest
  development version at the top of this page.

  ~dispass.el~ is both in the [[http://marmalade-repo.org/][Marmalade]] and the [[http://melpa.milkbox.net/][MELPA]] repo.  The MELPA
  version is a direct checkout of the latest development version and
  the Marmalade version is an older, possibly more stable, version.

* Install

  Once you have [[Download][downloaded]] ~dispass.el~ you have at least 2 choices for
  installation.

** package.el

   If you have Emacs v24+ or [[http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html][package.el]] and either Marmalade or MELPA
   configured, you can just:

   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
     (package-install "dispass")
   #+END_SRC

** manual

   Otherwise you have to [[Download][dowload]] it and then put it somewhere in your
   =load-path=, or add that location to your =load-path=:

   #+begin_src emacs-lisp
     (add-to-list 'load-path "~/location/of/dispass.el")
   #+end_src

   After which you can either ~require~ the package in your Emacs init
   file:

   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
     (require 'dispass)
   #+END_SRC

   Or set-up some autoloads:

   #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
     (autoload 'dispass "dispass" nil t)
     (autoload 'dispass-create "dispass" nil t)
     (autoload 'dispass-list-labels "dispass" nil t)
   #+END_SRC

* Usage

  Once installed you can use ~dispass~ to (re)generate passphrases,
  ~dispass-create~ to generate a new one (it asks for confirmation on
  the password) and ~dispass-list-labels~ to view a list of stored
  labels and manage them a little.
