## tessen `tessen` is a bash script that can use any wayland native dmenu-like backend as an interface for auto-typing and copying [password-store](https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/) data. The list of backends known to work with `tessen` are - [bemenu](https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu) - [fuzzel](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel) - [rofi](https://github.com/lbonn/rofi) - [wofi](https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi) `tessen` is written to work only on wayland compositors such as [sway](https://swaywm.org/). If you'd rather use [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) to copy your password-store data on both xorg/x11 and wayland, check out [pass-tessen](https://github.com/ayushnix/pass-tessen). ### Why use `tessen`? - `tessen` can autotype or copy (or do both at the same time!) your password store data including all of your key-value pair data From what I've observed as of this commit, most scripts out there do not autotype and copy all of your key-value pair data. They also do not offer choices about autotyping or copying data with the same flexibility as `tessen` does. Although [rofi-pass](https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass) is a good alternative, it only works on xorg/x11. `tessen` is made to work on wayland. - `tessen` does not use any external programs unless they are needed. This means that `tessen` doesn't need programs like `sed`, `awk`, `tr`, `cut`, `find`, `sort`, `head`, `tail`. This ensures that `tessen` isn't dependent on the subtle differences between GNU, BSD, and busybox coreutils. - the code is linted using [shellcheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck) and formatted using [shfmt](https://github.com/mvdan/sh). I've also tried to ensure that `tessen` doesn't leak any sensitive data. Please raise an issue or a pull request if you can make tessen more minimalistic or secure. - if you're using a web browser extension to access your passwords, you may wanna read [this](https://cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html) article ## Installation ### Dependencies - [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) - [pass](https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/) - a wayland native dmenu-like backend such as [bemenu](https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu), [fuzzel](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel), [rofi](https://github.com/lbonn/rofi), [wofi](https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi) - [wtype](https://github.com/atx/wtype) (optional, if you want to auto-type data) - [wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard) or [wl-clipboard-rs](https://github.com/YaLTeR/wl-clipboard-rs) (optional, if you want to copy data) - [libnotify](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify) (optional, to send notifications about copied data) - [pass-otp](https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp) (optional, to generate OTP) - [xdg-utils](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-utils/) (optional, to open URLs) - [scdoc](https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc) (optional, to build the man page) ### Arch Linux `tessen` is available in the [Arch User Repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tessen/). ### Git Release ``` git clone https://github.com/ayushnix/tessen.git cd tessen sudo make install ``` You can also do `doas make install` if you're using [doas](https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas), which you probably should. ### Stable Release ``` wget https://github.com/ayushnix/tessen/releases/download/v1.3.1/tessen-1.3.1.tar.gz tar xvzf tessen-1.3.1.tar.gz cd tessen-1.3.1 sudo make install ``` or, you know, `doas make install`. ## Features - autotype or copy (or both at the same time!) data, including all valid key-value pairs, in pass - generate OTPs using pass-otp - open URLs - use custom values for `user`, `password`, `url`, `autotype` keys - use custom autotype operations - use custom delay time for autotype Please read the [man page](https://github.com/ayushnix/tessen/blob/master/man/tessen.1.scd) for more information. ## Caveats :warning: The reason why `tessen` offers flexibility between autotyping and copying data is because autotyping may not always work accurately. There can be several reasons for this. One of the reasons when autotype doesn't work is when a web page doesn't follow the standard expectation of having a username and password text field one after the other and links are inserted between them. A good example is Discourse forums. In such cases, autotyping can make a real mess. This is why `tessen` also provides an option to define custom autotype operations. `tessen` uses [wtype](https://github.com/atx/wtype/) for autotyping and it seems to work fine on Firefox. You'll need at least version [v0.4](https://github.com/atx/wtype/releases/tag/v0.4), or later, of wtype for autotyping to work on Chromium. I haven't tested any other web browsers. ## What does `tessen` mean? [Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_fan) you go. ## Why did you choose this weird name? Because obvious names like pass-fzf and pass-clip are already taken by other projects? Also, for some reason, the way how bemenu and fuzzel's UI instantly opens up and displays relevant information reminded me of Japanese hand fans. I guess I was thinking of some anime while coming up with this name. ## Contributions Please see [this](https://github.com/ayushnix/tessen/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. ## Features that WON'T be implemented - xorg/x11 support, use [rofi-pass](https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass) or fork this repo and implement it yourself - using [ydotool](https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool), because it needs root access - adding, editing, or removing existing password store data - cache for storing frequently used password store selection data - importing passwords or exporting them
