pwclip 0.2.2

gui to temporarily save passwords to clipboard (paste-buffer)

pwclip is a small tool to generate (via yubikey challenge-response) password hashes. The first yubikey found on system and the first slot, configured with challenge-response, will be used. Linux (with xsel), Windows and OSX (pbcopy) is supported. Using python3’s Tk library to create a password input window. If no text is inserted there will be a challenge-response for that empty string. The appropriate response is saved for only 3 seconds by default. The utility also supports the input of any integer number which is then used as timer. Otherwise the environment is searched for the variable PWCLIPTIME and if set uses the vaule of that environment-variable as timer.

Install

pwclip requires the “xsel” package on Debian-Like Systems to have access to copy/paste buffers. On Windows Systems the libusb package must be integrated to python3 as “USB-Backend” (see libusb documentation)

• https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/xsel/

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/

If you are on a Debian-Like system the installation of the dependencies should work like the following (on root terminal):

$ apt-get install xsel
