That's something that has been bugging me for years! Is there any reason
why `generate -m` doesn't expect lines on stdin, like `insert -m` does?

Hello,
This patch adds the '-m' flag to 'generate', allowing the user to specify
one or more multiline entries after the generated password. This is
particularly useful when generating passwords used for website accounts where
other pieces of info are added to the password entry. For example, if using
an extension like browserpass[1], one might wish to add the account name as
well. But conceivably additional info such as security question answers could
be added. It is possible to specify multiple '-m' entries.
Currently, achieving this requires an additional call to "pass edit", requiring
a decryption of the password (which can be mildly annoying if a passphrase or
smartcard is required). With this patch, it is reduced to:
$ pass generate acme.com 20 -m "login: [email protected]" -m "pin: 1423"
I hope this can prove useful!
Best,
Calin
