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.
