I can't believe I missed this, you can view the username with rbw ls --fields name,user however that's for getting the entire list, you can't get an individual username with the get command, or edit a username.
If you want to use a CLI password manager, Gnu Pass seems much better, with a git repo, a pgp and a ssh key I use it between windows, mac, linux and android and it has been great. Edit: Correcting some "spell check" shenanigans that I missed when I commented from my phone.
bw-cli has a nice "bw export --output filename" option, that makes it easy to dump the entire database into a file that can be encrypted and tossed into nextcloud for an offsite backup. But in every other way, rbw seems way better
Hey Brodie, do you think you could make something like a mini-series where you go over some of these random programs that are included in the GNU coreutils, like pinentry?
GNU pass with the pass-import extension is a wonderful cli password manager as Marcos pointed out. Simple, Effective , Cool - pass import can import passwords from Lastpass, KeepassX and other password managers you may also be using - Just check it out - simplicity & effectiveness in the key. Hey Brodie - like your energy - give us a pass tutorial - my apologies if you already have. Have a great day.
Hey Brodie great videos. I'm actually trying to install Bitwarden from the community (gui) but it doesn't work. It loads the menu bar and some items such as "quit Bitwarden" are available but the rest are grayed out. I was wondering if you or anyone else was having this issue? No bugs have been reported on the arch webpage. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about cli.
What's your take on the newest Kitty "drama"? Basically, the creator made it always connected to the internet by default. You have to opt out if you don't want your terminal connected to the internet.
@@BrodieRobertson Although a bit diy I recommand it, dmenupass when you have the fuzzy find patch on dmenu is a treat to use. I use gitlab to sync, but you can use a local server if you don't want the passwords on a web server. You can be 100% sure your data is encrypted before sent anywhere very clearly since it uses PGP to create an encripted file for each password and if one were to be in a war against bloat, the linux tool is basically a shell script. There are a few kinks with the auto fill on the android client when using a chromium browser, but in the last version it got much better, requires 3 extra taps to fill a password on some sites and is mainly because the browser password interface steals the focus.
Dude, checkout pass. I use pass all the time now, and you can have usernames, email addresses, anything you want. It uses GPG for encryption so you have to set that up. And instead of a "database", it uses a directory structure, which I think is a better approach. I have my pass directory setup in my private git repo, so I can share my passwords among my different computers that I use on a regular bases.
You might name an item with the username in the item name, for convenience. Name: myspecificusername on thisspecificservice Password: {password} Folder: {foldername} ..etc. This might make use of the application more useful. At least when the username for an item is not very sensitive.
