HI all,

thanks caco3 for this application. I manage all my passwords with password maker.
Currently only CLI variant is usable for me and I did some wrapper/helper script around it, so it is easy to use.

I want to share it, as someone could use it or you could implement this functionality in the passwordmaker itself:

1) I transfer my account data from Firefox password maker to my N900 and place it under /etc/passwordmaker.cfg
2) I edit the file so I have one level structure for all my accounts, and put more friendly names for the accounts (less typing).
3) I create pm shell script that puts some defaults for me and call passwordmaker with proper params. It also put the password into the clipboard, so I don't have to copy it from xterm, I just paste it, usually in the browser.

Here is the wrapper script:

cat /usr/bin/pm
#!/bin/sh

URL=${1:-ovi}
ACCOUNT=${2:-d}

case $URL in
as) ACCOUNT=as; URL=google.com ;;
m4l) ACCOUNT=m4l; URL=google.com ;;
ovi) ACCOUNT=ovi; URL=nokia.com ;;
esac

echo -e "Master Password: \c"
passwordmaker -f /etc/passwordmaker.cfg --account $ACCOUNT --url $URL 2>/dev/null | grep -v "Master Password:"| xclip -selectio clip
xclip -selectio clip -o

What makes the GUI version not usable for you?
Are there any missing features?

GUI version does not provide a way to configure it.
I have five accounts with diffent setting (chars,length...),
Is there a way to achieve this with GUI?

All right

I now made a GUI version which supports all the available parameters.
Please test it and see if it works as supposed.

I did not implement any configuration options as I still do not know how I could store them encrypted. There would be no problem to store parameters/options in a config file, how ever I expect some of you would request that it has to be encrypted, even if it is only the url or account

Hey! Great update there Good Sir!

Found a bug for you! (that you no doubt already know about, but anyhow.)
When using characters like: "åäö" and Fü'ss' and so on.
--------------
Yeah and then I have a suggestion for you. I saw that you had renamed the two tabs to 'Advanced 1' and 'Advanced 2'.

I think that renaming:
'Advanced 1' -> 'Account & Settings'. (Would give a more accurate desc.)
'Advanced 2' -> 'Input fields'. OR 'Modifier Fields'. (This one im not sure about. Im leaning towards the latter though.)
--------------
Ah, yes.. regarding the present tab 'Advanced 1', it would be better if the field 'username' would be changed back to 'account'.

Since it would be more coherent between different version of the passwordmaker interfaces (javascript, firefoxplugin, CLI, friends android/iphone and so on).
Otherwise its easy to get confused, "what field is what?".

Great progress you are making here! I really appreciate you taking your time on this!

Its great to get your feedback, thanks for that!

Haven't found that yet. But it should be fixed in the next version. Please test and let me know. It is one of those unicode problem which annoy me just again and again Wy can not every tool just speak unicode? or ascii? When ever you print texts or send them to a cli tool, you have to do those annoying conversations

Haven't thought about that, but I take your suggestions as they make sense.

I have to disagree with you here.
My German Firefox plug in (which I use as reference) uses the text "Benutzernamen" which means "user name" in English.
Checking the documentation of passwordmaker reveals that there are 2 options:
They do not do the same!
Checking with above mentioned plugin shows that the plugin uses the "-u" option and it has no field for the "--account" option.

Please correct me if I am wrong!

Should we add the "--account" option as well? Who would use it? And what is the difference between those 2 options?

Also there is another option which I do not understand:
What is it used for?

Oh man, thanks a bunch for the unicode fix! Now I can start using passwordmaker 100%!

Yeah, I know its just stupid.. if one think about all the headache and time people spend on this and if they just had fixed unicode, I have no doubt, that they had solved the whole fusion thingy last thursday.

No you are probably right, I have not checked it real properly. I got a root canal done yesterday and the BILL for it. But hey, makes you feel alive at least.

Wish you a quick and pain less recovery. Had a friend who had to walk around for 2 weeks with a root channel infection. He didn't really look happy
