Browserpass

Browserpass is a Chrome & Firefox extension for zx2c4's pass, a UNIX based password manager. It retrieves your decrypted passwords for the current domain and allows you to auto-fill login forms. If you have multiple logins for the current site, the extension shows you a list of usernames to choose from.

It uses a native binary written in Golang to do the interfacing with your password store. Secure communication between the binary and the browser extension is handled through native messaging.

Requirements

• A recent version of Chrome, Chromium or Firefox 50+.
• Pass (on UNIX)
• Your password filename must match your username or your file must have a line starting with login: or username:, followed by your username.

the-password

$ pass website.com
the-password
login: johndoe
