auth-source-pass (aka. auth-password-store)
The auth-source-pass package, formerly known as auth-password-store,
integrates Emacs' auth-source library with password-store. The
auth-source
library is a way for Emacs to answer the old burning question “What
are my user name and password?”.
Password-store (or just pass) is a
standard unix password manager following the Unix philosophy.
The auth-source-pass project is a password-store backend for auth-source.
Installing
This package has been included in Emacs 26. If that suits you, you can just start using it. Otherwise, install it from melpa.
Regardless of the version you choose, please report issues to auth-source-pass's issue tracker. Please make sure to specify which version you use.
Usage
Add the following to your init.el file:
(require 'auth-source-pass)
(auth-source-pass-enable)
Organization
auth-source-pass follows the first approach suggested by the Password-store project itself for data organization to find data. This means that the filename of the file containing the password for a user on a particular host must contain the hostname. The file itself must contain the password on the first line. Additional fields can be on subsequent lines. For example:
passwdstring
host: host.domain.com
user: [email protected]
port: 993
If you have several accounts for the same host, you can name your files in 2 different ways:
-
[email protected]and[email protected], or -
host/user1.gpgandhost/user2.gpg
If you use several ports (sometimes called services) in the same
host (e.g., web and mail), you can add a colon and the port number (or
service name) at the end of the filename: e.g., host:443.gpg or
host:imap.gpg.
The separator string (default: colon) between host and port number
can be customized by auth-source-pass-port-separator variable.
Be aware that the .gpg extension is added automatically by the pass
utility. You should not include that in the name when you create the
entry. For example to create a multi-line entry with pass:
pass insert -m [email protected]
Pass in Emacs
Users of this package may also be interested in functionality provided by other Emacs packages dealing with pass:
- password-store: password store (pass) support ;
- pass: a major mode for pass ;
- helm-pass: helm interface for pass.
