These tools really need a browser plugin for them to be useful to me.



Has anyone tried using these?

- https://github.com/gustaebel/passext (Chrome)

or

- https://github.com/jvenant/passff (firefox)


From the chrome extension github:

  "This is pre-alpha quality software, the result of a three
  day project. It will crash your browser, leak your
  passwords and destroy your home. This is actually my first
  Chrome extension and I am no expert javascript programmer."
YMMV


I use passff a lot of times everyday. I can't complaint :)


For Safari (and Chrome) I made a little automator service that gets the url from the browser, strips the hostname, then feeds that into a shell script that calls pass and puts the password in the clipboard for 45 seconds.

It actually works better (for me) than 1password which was always a little flaky at recognizing a website after any kind of site update.


There's one for Firefox.


passwordstore just (with my distro) starting shipping a dmenu (http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/) script that I think is great, and personally removes the need for a browser extension. Unfortunately only available on linux.


Not to mention mobile.


The Android app is acceptable:

There's a iPhone one I cannot comment on.
