hlesspass

Alternative CLI application for LessPass.

Installation

Clone the repository and build the project either via cabal (cabal build, see also cabal --help) or nix.

Usage

$ hlesspass [OPTIONS]

See hlesspass --help.

The app has its own configuration file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hlesspass/config.cfg (where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config). The config looks like this:

lowercase=yes
uppercase=yes
digits=yes
symbols=yes
length=16
counter=1
copy=no

It can also locally store hash¹ of the master password in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hlesspass/pwd file to prevent typos. Launch hlesspass with the --save-hash option and enter the password. On subsequent runs it'll check that you wrote a correct password. --no-check can be used to disable this check.

The main LessPass algorithm uses pbkdf2_sha256 with 100'000 iterations.
