    There are replacements for dmenu: standard is wofi (https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi), but it has slightly less functionality (although many people live with it just fine), or there is port of rofi (https://github.com/lbonn/rofi), which is much more capable (you need this fork, the original rofi is X-only). Both of these are packaged in most Linux distributions.

    I wrote my own web based LaTeX editor I can use if I want access to my LaTeX files from a different computer, something I never would have been able to do if I hadn't learned how the pieces work together (though I actually use neovim over ssh more often).

    > I always tell these people to just sign up for a password manager and they always resist and say no. I must be missing something obvious.

    Maybe they don't want to be relying on a random third-party for all their passwords?

    Rather than getting them to sign up for a password manager, what about getting them to install a password manager? I use https://www.passwordstore.org/ - it encrypts your passwords with GPG, and shares the storage via a Git repository for synchronisation between different machines.

    That way you can delegate the password handling to another program, e.g. a password manager like pass(1) (https://www.passwordstore.org/) or some interactive graphical prompt.
  • Passit: Open-Source Password Manager
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Jan 2024
    I want to move to something compatible with https://www.passwordstore.org/ - an open standard for keeping your passwords in a folder encrypted with OpenPGP.

    The problem is that I'm nervous to give an unknown Android app and browser plugin total control of my passwords and access to my github account when I don't have time to review it's code properly. I have a bit more trust ing the command line tools, but I'd like to be sure that more people are looking at the code before I trust my life to it.

    > Create a system or pattern based on url or brand and mentally hash it into a password.

    Doesn't sound very secure. Also when you realize that you anyway have to trust cryptography, I believe it starts making a lot of sense to have an actual cryptographic key and encrypt it with one good random password you learn by heart.

    I use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/, which encrypts my passwords with my GPG key, which comes from my Yubikey, which I unlock with a password. That means that I only need to remember one password, and it feels a lot more secure than your pattern based on url or brand.

    If you want portability and simplicity, there's a project called simply pass that uses standard *nix utilities (and git, I believe) to manage passwords from CLI.
  • Bitwarden Broken in Linux

    0. Pass is just text files encrypted with gpg. I needed just one password on one work computer, where I had my gpg key, but not all my passwords. Decrypted the file and that was it.

    1. There are plugins and web clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

  • Bitwarden Adds Support for Passkeys
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Nov 2023
    I've been incredibly happy with https://www.passwordstore.org/ for years. The data store is a file hierarchy, with the files themselves encrypted with GPG. Sync is via git. TOTP support with a plugin.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing rofi and pass-import you can also consider the following projects:

bemenu - Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu

vaultwarden - Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs

arewewaylandyet - Sources for https://arewewaylandyet.com

gopass - The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams

tessen - an interactive menu to autotype and copy pass and gopass data

Bitwarden - The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc).

rofi-pass - rofi frontend for pass

password-store-example - Gopass examples

KeeWeb - Free cross-platform password manager compatible with KeePass

wtype - xdotool type for wayland
