A search provider for GNOME Shell that adds support for searching in zx2c4/[pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/).
|
|
|
|
Names of passwords will show up in GNOME Shell searches, choosing one will copy the corresponding content to the clipboard.
|
|
|
|
Supports OTP, fields and can use GPaste.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
## Arch Linux
|
|
Install `gnome-pass-search-provider-git` from the AUR.
|
|
|
|
## Manual
|
|
|
|
Ensure that python>=3.5 as well as the dbus, gobject, fuzzywuzzy modules are installed. They should all be packaged under python-name or python3-name depending on your distribution.
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository and run the installation script as root:
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone git@github.com:jle64/gnome-shell-pass-search-provider.git
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Post-installation
|
|
|
|
Log out and reopen your GNOME session.
|
|
|
|
The search provider will be loaded automatically when doing a search. You should see it enabled in GNOME Settings Search pane.
|
|
|
|
# OTP
|
|
|
|
The [pass-otp](https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp) extension is supported. Searches starting with `otp` will copy the otp token to the clipboard.
|
|
|
|
# Fields
|
|
|
|
To copy other values than the password in the first line from a pass file, start the search with `:NAME search...`. The field name must be a full but case insensitive match. This requires `GPaste`.
|
|
|
|
For example with a pass file like:
|
|
```
|
|
SUPERSECRETPASSWORD
|
|
user: username
|
|
pin: 123456
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To copy the pin start the search with `:pin` and for the username `:user`.
|
|
|
|
# Environment variables
|
|
|
|
If you are configuring `pass` through environment variables, such as `PASSWORD_STORE_DIR`, make sure to set them in a way that will propagate to the search provider executable, not just in your shell.
|
|
|
|
Setting them in `~/.profile` or `~/.pam_environment` should be sufficient, but stuff in shell-specific files such as `~/.bashrc` will not be picked up by gnome-shell.
|
|
|
|
If your values have no effect, make sure they propagate to the script environment:
|
|
```shell
|
|
ps auxeww | grep [g]nome-pass-search-provider.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Clipboard managers
|
|
|
|
If you are using GPaste, passwords will be sent to it marked as passwords, thus ensuring they are not visible.
|
|
Otherwise they are sent to the clipboard using `pass -c` which defaults to expiration after 45 seconds.
|
|
|
|
# Compatibility
|
|
|
|
This implements the `org.gnome.Shell.SearchProvider2` D-Bus API and has been tested with GNOME Shell 3.22-3.38. This uses the `org.gnome.GPaste1` or `org.gnome.GPaste2` versions of the GPaste D-Bus API to add passwords to GPaste.
|
|
|
|
# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you don't see passphrase prompts when your key is locked, it might be because GPG is not using the right pinentry program. You can force gpg-agent to use pinentry-gnome3 by adding `pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3` to `~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`.
|
|
|
|
If you encounter problems, make sure to look to wherever GNOME and D-Bus are logging for error messages. You can do this using `journalctl --user` on systemd-using systems.
