Hey gang!

So I’ve used gopass for awhile now, and Emacs for longer.

I was wondering if any of you here interact with gopass via Emacs with auth-source or something similar.

The main reason I ask is because I’m wanting to finally use Emacs for other things, such as an IRC client and making more use of Magit, and even writing with 750words.

A lot of my passwords are stored with gopass, and the structure isn’t always the same for stores. For instance:

| Forums
|-- Gentoo
|-- Some other forum
|
| Email Host
|--  email-address@somewhere.com
|---- password
|---- recovery codes
|
| Employer Name
|-- Some program we use at work
|---- myworkemail@work-site.com
|
| Some app
|-- My User Name

Maybe this structure for a password store is a no-no, though it’s not a big deal to move things around.

Any tips? I’ve seen auth-source-gopass, but that doesn’t provide any interaction with selection of passwords or creation of passwords, I think.

I’ve look at that mentioned library some and writing an auth-source backend doesn’t seem too involved, but maybe I don’t necessarily have to with auth-source.

EDIT:

A potential configuration that others might use:

(require 'consult)
(require 'auth-source-pass)

(use-package pass
  :requires password-store
  :preface
  (defvar consult:pass-source
    `(:name "Passwords"
      :narrow ?<                     ;; maybe you want something else for narrow?
      :face pass-mode-directory-face ;; maybe you want to use a different face?
      :category pass
      :enabled
      ,(lambda ()
         (auth-source-pass-file-name-p auth-source-pass-filename))
      :items ,#'password-store-list)
    "Consult source for passwords with (go)pass.")

  (defun consult:pass (arg pass)
    "Stolen from Doom Emacs.
https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/blob/master/modules/tools/pass/autoload/consult.el"
    (interactive
     (list current-prefix-arg
           (progn
             (require 'consult)
             (consult--read consult:pass-source
                            :prompt "(Go)Pass: "
                            :sort nil
                            :require-match t
                            :category 'pass))))
    (funcall (if arg
                 #'password-store-url
               #'password-store-copy)
             pass))
  :custom
  (password-store-executable (executable-find "gopass"))
  (auth-source-pass-filename
   (or (getenv "PASSWORD_STORE_DIR")
       (expand-file-name "~/.local/share/gopass/stores/root")))
  :config
  (auth-source-pass-enable))
