getpwd1
Simple tool that queries a password from a user and writes it to standard output
Usage
-
getpwd ["prompt"] | sphinx get username hostname
Overview
This is a simple script which uses pinentry from the gnupg project to query a password and write it out to standard output. Which pinentry variant you use, is up to you, it can be a curses, gtk or qt interface. This should be safer than echoing a password into pwdsphinx, since your password will not show up in your process list nor your command line history.
The only parameter this tool takes is a prompt to display when asking for the password.
