Every so often I actually need to look at a password instead of just having it in my paste buffer. E.g. I need to enter it on another device: a phone, tablet, Roku box, or some other thing I can't or don't want to run password-store on. So I run pass and have it put the password to stdout (e.g. 'pass my-store').
My concern is that I'm terribly uncertain I can actually clear the resulting output. I run in tmux inside of iTerm and after running 'clear' it seems that output persists in various ways (e.g. if I put tmux into copy mode and I'll find it if I scroll up). I could spend effort trying to come up with some way of clearing stdout and might succeed, but I'm wondering if a better approach would be to use the logic password-store already has in creating temporary files for editing password stores and use that to create a temporary file for viewing password stores (using vi in read-only mode with '-R'). Thoughts? Von
