Hi,
I need to generate a numeric pin but pass seems to only support a yes/no
special characters flag.
So I generate my own pin:
PIN=$(tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c ${LENGTH})
When I try to insert that into pass via standard in:
pass insert ${NAME} <<< $PIN
I get exit status 1 with no error message, and no password is inserted.
- How can I insert a password non-interactively?
For me this works:
echo "$PIN" | pass insert --echo ${NAME}
or
pass insert --echo ${NAME} <<<$PIN
important is the "--echo"
- Alternatively, how can I generate a numeric pin with no alpha characters?
- Should pass provide an error message when it fails?
It provides an appropriate exit status of >0.
Cheers
frank
