* 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.

Since DisPass uses the ISC license, I thought it would be polite to
