A simple password manager for the Kitty terminal.
Before you can use this plugin, you will need to install the following dependencies:
These dependencies are necessary as the plugin uses your credentials stored in Bitwarden, fzf for interactive password selection, and jq for JSON parsing.
Follow the steps below to install the plugin:
-
Download password_manager.py from this repository and place the file in the same directory as
kitty.conf
. -
Add the following snippet in your
.bashrc
or.zshrc
, depending on your shell:
if [[ -n "${KITTY_PASSWORD_MANAGER}" ]]; then
_bw_unlock() {
local cache_file="${HOME}/.cache/kpm.session"
[[ -f "${cache_file}" ]] && source "${cache_file}"
bw unlock --check &>/dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
(bw login --check &>/dev/null || bw login --apikey) && bw sync -f &>/dev/null
export BW_SESSION="$(bw unlock --raw)"
mkdir -p "$(dirname ${cache_file})"
echo "export BW_SESSION=\"${BW_SESSION}\"" >"${cache_file}"
fi
}
_bw_enter_pw() {
_bw_unlock
bw unlock --check &>/dev/null
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
local pw=$(echo "Name\tUsername\tPassword\n$(bw list items | sed 's/ /\\u00a0/g' | jq -r 'map(select(.type == 1)) | .[] | "\(.name) \(.login.username) \(.login.password)"')" | column -t | fzf --height=100% --cycle --layout=reverse --info=inline --with-nth=1,2 --header='Select an account' --header-lines=1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | sed 's/\\u00a0/ /g')
[[ -n "${pw}" ]] && echo "${pw}" | kitty @ send-text -m id:$1 --stdin
fi
}
() {
trap 'exit' EXIT
_bw_enter_pw "${KITTY_PASSWORD_MANAGER}"
}
fi
- Set up a key shortcut to activate the plugin in your
kitty.conf
. For example, you can useCtrl+Shift+Cmd+P
:
map ctrl+shift+cmd+p kitten password_manager.py
Now that the installation is complete, you can start using the plugin. Whenever you are at a password prompt, simply press the key shortcut that you have defined above to activate the plugin. The plugin will prompt you to select the appropriate account and will then automatically fill in your password.
This plugin is inspired by Andrew Lazarus's work.
