Change backend with environment variable
ROFI_PASS_BACKEND
, valid backends arexdotool
orwtype
. For example userofi-pass
with wtype:ROFI_PASS_BACKEND=wtype rofi-pass
or
ROFI_PASS_BACKEND=wtype ROFI_PASS_CLIPBOARD_BACKEND=wl-clipboard rofi-pass
Alternative change the backend in the config file using
backend=wtype
orclibpoard_backend=wl-clipboard
.

Configuration
rofi-pass may read its configuration values from different locations in the following order:
ROFI_PASS_CONFIG
(environment variable)$HOME/.config/rofi-pass/config
/etc/rofi-pass.conf
rofi-pass only loads the first existing file. In case no config file exists, rofi-pass uses its internal default values. You can set the environment variable like this:
ROFI_PASS_CONFIG="$HOME/path/to/config" rofi-pass
For an example configuration please take a look at the included config.example
file.
Extras
addpass
rofi-pass comes with a tiny helper script, which makes it easier to create new pass entries. Just run it with
addpass --name "My new Site" +user "zeltak" +branch "branch" +custom "foobar" +autotype "branch :tab user :tab pass"
- First argument
--name
is mandatory. This will be the filename of the new password entry. - Second argument can be
--root
followed by absolute path to your password-store. addpass also uses root config setting from rofi-pass config file. If both are not found, PASSWORD_STORE_DIR variable is checked. If none of the above are found, the default location$HOME/.password-store
is used. --root
can also be a colon separated list of directories, in which case you can navigate between them on the main menu with Shift+Left and Shift+Right.- Fieldnames are defined with
+
and the actual value is defined inside the quotations. You can add as many fields as you like
keepass2 import script
Also included is an import script for keepass2 databases. It's the same script that can be downloaded from the pass homepage, with some minor modifications to match rofi-pass structure.
csv exporter
Finally a script to export your pass database to csv is included. The resulting csv was tested in keepassxc.
Sharing passwords
Rofi-pass allows you to easily share common used passwords across multiple entries. For example, if you have an academic account which includes several services (such as a library, Salary, Student portal etc), all with different URL's, login forms etc. you can share one password across all of them. This is very handy when the passwords change annually. To use this function you need to add the following line instead of the password, referencing a pass file which holds the password:
#FILE=PATH/to/filename
where PATH is relative to your password-store.
And yes, you should slap your service provider for forcing you to share passwords across services.
User filename as user
If your password file has no user field you can ask rofi-pass to use the filename instead.
For example with this password file path : web/fsf.org/rms
rofi-pass will user rms
as your username.
To get this, you need to set default_user
to :filename
in your configuration.
FAQ
rofi pass prints garbage instead of my actual passes
Make sure to run setxkbmap <language> <variant>
at the start of your Xorg
session.
rofi pass hangs after selecting password
To access passwords your GPG agent needs to have unlocked your secret key
you're using to encrypt your passwords with. If the secret key hasn't been
unlocked yet it will prompt for the secret key password using pinentry
. If
pinentry
is configured to read from a tty
then rofi-pass
will hang
indefinitely. To fix this you need to [configure gpg][gpg_pinentry_config] to
use a gui version of pinentry
. E.g.
$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
You may have to kill the GPG agent if it's still in a bad state:
killall -9 gpg-agent
Alternative
jreinert has written the roughly compatible tool
autopass. It has less features, but
definately saner code.
Also he provided a nice little script called passed
to change your
fieldnames. link
