# 2025-01-26 - Puss Password Manager |
|

I wrote about the pass Unix password manager. |

After a recent Slackware install, the pass script began to delay for |
|
60 seconds or more before prompting me for my GPG password. I |
|
tracked the delay down to gpg2 waiting for pinentry. I could work |
|
around the delay by adding the following line to my |
|
.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf |
|
|
|
no-allow-external-cache |
|
|
|
I guess it might be related to me importing the GNU project keyring |
|
to validate source code archives. The GNU project keyring has over |
|
12,000 signatures! |
|
|
|
$ gpg2 --list-signatures | wc -l |
|
12019 |

While troubleshooting this, i asked for help in the #pass IRC channel |
|
on libera.chat. I did not receive help, but i received a |
|
condescending attitude about me running X11 instead of Wayland. I |
|
want better than that. |
|
|
|
I found a minimal script named puss.sh. I modified it to be a |
|
drop-in replacement for the pass password-store Unix password |
|
manager. I copied my ~/.password-store/ to ~/.pusswordstore/ and |
|
started using puss.sh instead of pass. |
|
|
|
puss.sh |
|
|
|
This resolves all of the items on my wishlist for the pass Unix |
|
password manager. |
|
|
|
* No condescension. |
|
* No delay of over 60 seconds to decrypt a password. |
|
* Support NO_COLOR standard. (Colors are not ever used.) |
|
* Support for CSV export. |

## 2025-05-19 - puss.sh version 7 |
|
|
|
Make "puss search" case insensitive. |
|
|
|
Catch wrong password in "puss edit" to avoid data loss. |
