Dear all similar to what is described on http://www.passwordstore.org/ I am using pass to organise my password records in the scheme
password User: ... URL: ... Description extra info ... If you have a similarly bad memory than myself, then you probably tend to forget all the extra info which you entered in the multiline record as well. For this reason I cooked up a small patch for pass which adds the extra flag -s to the list of arguments show accepts. If "-s" or "--skip" is passed, the usual output of gpg is piped to tail -n+2, such that all lines *but* the first are printed to stdout. In other words this allows one to quickly check the extra info which is entered, without displaying the password in the clear to the terminal. One disadvantage of this method is that I am loosing the return code of gpg, but since I still get stderr from it, I would be ok with it. I am using this feature myself quite regularly atm. and I would be happy to see your feedback on it. Best Michael -- Michael F.
