pass qr

A pass extension that quickly generates a QR code for passwords using fzf or rofi.

Description

pass qr extends the pass utility with a short command to generate and display a QR code for an existing password. This is useful when, for example, you don't have your password store on your cell phone but want to quickly use a password.

Usage

Usage:
    pass qr [options] [output]
        Provide an interactive solution to generate QR codes for existing
        passwords. It will show all pass-names in either fzf or rofi, waits for
        the user to select one, then displays a QR code for the password. If an
        output path is specified, the QR code will be saved as a PNG to the
        specified location.

        The user can select fzf or rofi by giving either --fzf or --rofi.
        By default, rofi will be selected and pass-qr will fallback to
        fzf.

    Options:
        -f, --fzf        Use fzf to select pass-name.
        -r, --rofi       Use rofi to select pass-name.

Installation

Requirements

• pass 1.7.0 or greater.
• If you do not want to install this extension as system extension, you need to enable user extension with PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass. You can create an alias in .bashrc: alias pass='PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass'

pass-qr's Issues

Annoying Limitations

Thanks for the tool! I have some feedback from first experiments:

Just running pass qr exits unsuccessfully, even though I have fzf installed.

pass qr -f works, but it would be nice to be able to display the qr code in other ways rather than a popup window.

Also, runninf pass qr my/password/path should simply use the given path.
