pass-otp VS rofi-pass

otp tokens are included in the encrypted file. It’s just appended to the file, e.g. otpauth://totp/… You’ll need to install https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp on desktop for this to work. But the android client comes with support builtin.

I use pass myself. I had no idea you could use it for otp. Are you using something like this? https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp

I use https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp with pass, which has a FOSS client for desktop and smartphone (at least for andriod, no idea for ios)

There are the password manager pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/), which has an extension pass-otp (https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp). This extension can be used instead of Google Authenticator.

> In particular, I don't see how 2FA is possible with this

Umm, why not?

First, you can use a different app (like aegis) to generate OTPs.

Second, pass has an extension (https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otp) that can be used to generate OTPs.

git clone https://github.com/tadfisher/pass-otpcd pass-otpsudo make install

You can use pass

Looking at the instructions and information on GitHub - https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass I am somewhat confused.

It's supposed to be cross platform standalone rofi-pass for my Windows. On Linux I use the original one and it's great

I made this post a few weeks ago about tessen's initial release. Since then, I've added a few features that might've prevented rofi-pass users from switching to Wayland based compositors (I was one of them).

Pass combined with rofi-pass

I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

rofi-pass is also very nice you already use rofi

Easy to sync because it's a git repo, supports every type of MFA / key under the sun (well, everything that GPG does, because it's basically a frontend for GPG). Easy to programmatically search / create scripts for (I use rofi-pass). Easy to install on a vps and access from anywhere. Most importantly, does one thing and does it well, Unix philosophy.
