NAME
clivepass - the login password utility for clive
SYNOPSIS
clivepass [option]...
DESCRIPTION
clivepass is a replacement for stored plain-text website login
passwords used with clive(1). It keeps website login passwords
encrypted in a repository file that can be accessed with a global
passphrase. Typically these login passwords are passed in plain-text
form to clive(1) on command line or from a config file.
Note that even though the passwords are encrypted on disk, they are
passed in plain-text over the network. This means the passwords are
still visible to anyone intercepting the network traffic.
Historically, a similar utility existed as part of clive 1.0 but was
removed in clive 2.0 and later rewritten in Perl as part of the clive-
utils project which is a set of additional utilities for clive(1).
OPTIONS
-h --help

-v --version

-c --create

-a --add=username

-e --edit=username

-g --get=username

-s --show

-d --delete=username

EXAMPLES
Create new password repository file:
% clivepass -c
Add "myusername" to the repository:
% clivepass -a myusername
Note that "myusername" should be the login username for the
website.
Get login password for "myusername":
% clivepass -g myusername
There is a more comprehensive example of clive(1) using
clivepass(1) in the clive(1) manual page.
FILES
clivepass searches the ~/.config/clive-utils directory for the config
file. You can override this by setting the CLIVEPASS_HOME environment
variable.
~/.config/clive-utils/passwd
Password file. Contains the salted passphrase hash and login
usernames and encrypted passwords.
