poetry install

Help

Run lesspass-client --help for the most up-to-date information.

.netrc

Use of a .netrc file for supplying your LessPass login and master password is required. There is currently no way to supply either using command line arguments or environment variables; both of these methods are insecure, anyways. Use the host lesspass for sharing your username and password, and the host lesspass_gen for storing your master password.

show --format

The show subcommand allows for the customization of the command's output through the --format option, a la lpass show --format. Instead of using printf-like formatting, lesspass-client instead uses Python's format string syntax, which I believe is much more intuitive and user friendly.

The format string supplies the following values:

• site
• login
• password
• created
• modified
• id
• version
• counter
• length
• uppercase
• lowercase
• numbers

For example, if you wanted to append your Freesound login to your .netrc file:

lesspass-client show --site freesound.org \
--format "machine freesound login {login} password {password}" \
>> ~/.netrc

What This Tool Isn't

• a complete replacement for LessPass's exisiting CLI.
• a complete way to manage your LessPass passwords
• a 1-to-1 drop-in replacement for lpass

Caveots

• doesn't support password encryption
• doesn't support LessPass servers outside of api.lesspass.com
• doesn't allow for the addition, updating, or removal of passwords

TODO

• error handling
• more password operations
• configuration (encryprion, other servers, alternate .netrc locations)
