dmenu-supergenpass

A shell + perl dmenu utility to generate a password and simulate typing it into into the focused window.

Instead of using a password manager, a password is generated from a "password item" + "master password" combination. This was inspired by, and is compatible with, SuperGenPass

Usage

Make sure you have perl, xsel, and xdotool installed.

Copy dmenu-supergenpass to somewhere in your $PATH (like /usr/local/bin for example) and bind it to a key in your Window Manager.

When you need to type a password, focus the window/field for the password and hit the key combination. You will be presented with "password items" to choose from. Any text that is in the clipboard selection will also be presented as the first item (so selecting the domain name in a browser bar for example lets you use that). Press Enter to choose the highlighted item, or Shift+Enter to force choosing whatever text was typed in. Then enter the master password and press Enter to have the password generated and "typed" using xdotool

If you need to remove items, remove them from $HOME/.config/dmenu-supergenpass/items
