* What does it do?
[[dispass][DisPass]] is a passphrase generator. ~dispass.el~ is an [[emacs][Emacs]] wrapper
for [[dispass][DisPass]].
[[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.
* Why was it written?
[[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
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?
It offers:
Since [[dispass][DisPass]] uses the ISC license, I thought it would be polite
to use the same license.
- Copying passwords directly to the clipboard, no need for manual
selection and copying.
* Who is it for?
- Specifying the length of the passphrase by using a numeric prefix
argument.
Anyone who prefers to use emacs as a universal interface and also
likes to use [[dispass][DisPass]].
- Input completion for labels.
* Data
- Some label management (adding, removing).
| Version | 0 (development only) |
| Language | Emacs Lisp |
| License | ISC |
* Alternatives
** Features
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.
- Copy passwords directly to the clipboard, no need for manual
selection and copying.

* Requirements
** Dependencies
Obviously it requires both [[http://dispass.babab.nl][DisPass]] and [[http://gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]]. Beyond that there
shouldn't be any requirements.
- [[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
* More...
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.
For further instructions I would refer you to the [[readme][README]] and [[manual]].
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.
