Hi! I have been using org for managing passwords for a some time now. In
case someone is interested, the code is in:
https://bitbucket.org/alfaromurillo/org-passwords.el

To consult the database, the code provides a function to open the Org
file with the passwords in Read-Only mode, sets a timer after which the
buffer is killed and provides functions for copying the password without
it getting into the kill-ring. It also provides two types of functions
for generating passwords: strings of random characters, and random words
of the correcthorsebatterystaple-type. The README file in bitbucket has
detailed information about the usage.

If there is interest from the community this can also go to /contrib.

Best,

Jorge.

Dear Jorge,

Neat!! Thanks for providing the details.

I've been using a somewhat similar approach with a lot less functionality
for a few years, but as I reported in the org email list, something I find
unsettling is that if an encrypted buffer is killed right when it is being
opened (when you just typed the password ---sure, low probability, but not
zero), part of the contents of the encrypted buffer are left, as plain
text, in other buffer(s).

I reported this here

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-12/msg00841.html

and I still experience the problem (I just try it not to happen). Is
this not affecting you at all? I'd have thought it would, since you are
also using a timer to kill the buffer, and it could fire right after you
enter the password.


Best,


R.

Hi,

You can ensure a gpg buffer doesn't leave any traces by using a
minor-mode called "sensitive" which disables backups and auto-save. The code is
available on the Internet, but I'll post it here if anyone is
interested.

Best wishes,

Colin.

Thanks Ramon,

Regarding your question, probably the bug is related to running a for
with all the buffers that are open. To get what you want you can try
something creating a minor mode for gpg files and adding a hook that
adds the buffer name of the gpg file that you open to a list of buffers
to kill:

  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
    (define-minor-mode gpg-killing-mode
      "A mode to kill gpg files"
      :after-hook 
      (add-to-list 'gpg-buffers (buffer-name)))

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.gpg$" . gpg-killing-mode))

    (setq gpg-buffers nil)

    (run-at-time t 120 '(lambda () 
                         (mapcar 'kill-buffer gpg-buffers)
                         (setq gpg-buffers nil)))
      
  #+END_SRC

Instead killing all at the same time, I would probably kill each one
after a certain time, to avoid opening a file and have it right away
killed it was close to the end of the 2 min cycle:

  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
    (define-minor-mode gpg-killing-mode
      "A mode to kill gpg files"
      :after-hook 
      (progn
        (setq gpg-buffers (append gpg-buffers (list (buffer-name))))
        (run-at-time 120 nil '(lambda () 
                                (kill-buffer (car gpg-buffers))
                                (setq gpg-buffers (cdr gpg-buffers))))))

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.gpg$" . gpg-killing-mode))  

    (setq gpg-buffers nil)
  #+END_SRC

Best,

Jorge.

Thanks, I did not know about that, but I think google found it. Are you
referring to

http://anirudhsasikumar.net/blog/2005.01.21.html

which was also mentioned in, say,

You are right! (I've been using this for over 3 years and hadn't realized
the obvious). The timer is always running (even before any gpg file is
opened), so I can end up with the unlikely coincidence of it firing right
when I open a gpg file.


It won't if I do as you suggest. Thanks!!!

Dear Ramon,

Yes. The first URL gives the lisp code.

I could never get sensitive mode to turn on by default for files having
gpg or cpt extensions. Consequently, I just "M-X sensitive RET" for each
file. To remind me, I put "sensitive" at the beginning of the file. You
may have better luck.

Best wishes,

Colin.

Hi Jorge,

   Are you aware of this http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/contrib/emacs ? It's an api to pass
   and other simple cli tools.

   Hope it helps,

c.

Dear Colin,

Great, thanks a lot.

I just tried it, and it worked out of the box, and it turns on by default
(I used the code at the bottom of the page). But I think I get a similar
problem as the one you reported: when I run it and the file is *.org.gpg,
then org mode is turned off. If I M-x org-mode (or add the
;;; -*- mode:org; -*-
), sensitive turns off, but stays if I M-x sensitive-mode. Anyway, enable now.


Best,

R.

Dear Ramon,

Yes, that's the problem I got with files *.org.gpg. I've never had the time -
nor inclination - to look into it further.

Best wishes,

Colin.

Dear Ramon and Colin,

If you are using an "(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist ...)" for the gpg
files, that sets the major mode on. If you want to leave the major mode
as Org, do not use auto-mode-alist, but instead use a hook:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'your-function), where your-function should be
one that checks if the file name ends with gpg and if so turns your
sensitivity-mode on.

Alternatively, define another major mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (define-derived-mode org-but-sensitive-mode org-mode
    ...)
#+END_SRC

and copy in "..." whatever your sensitive-minor-mode has.

Best,

Jorge.

Dear Jorge,

Many thanks for this. I had forgotten about "define-derived-mode".

I think this would be a nice contribution.

Can you send a patch against the current master branch to add the
code in the contrib/lisp/ directory?

Thanks a lot!

A useful feature would be an auth-source backend, See (info "(auth)")
By this, other packages (like Gnus or Tramp) would profit from the
password manager directly.

Dear Bastien, 

This is my first time submitting a patch, so I do not know if
this is the way I am supposed to do it.

Best,

    org-passwords.el: Add an org derived mode for managing passwords
    
    * contrib/lisp/org-passwords.el: new file.
    
    The file gives a mode for consulting a passwords database with entries
    in org format.  The database opens in Read-Only mode and a timer is
    set to close the database.  The file provides functions for making
    usernames and passwords available to the facility for pasting text of
    the window system (clipboard on X and MS-Windows, pasteboard on
    Nextstep/Mac OS, etc.) without inserting them in the kill-ring.  It
    also provides functions for generating passwords as a random string of
    characters or as a number of random words from a dictionary.

+;;
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file contains the code for managing your passwords with
+;; Org-mode.
+
+;; A basic setup needs to indicate a passwords file, and a dictionary
+;; for the random words:
+
+;;   (require org-passwords)
+;;   (setq org-passwords-file "~/documents/passwords.gpg")
+;;   (setq org-passwords-random-words-dictionary "/etc/dictionaries-common/words")
+
+;; Basic usage:
+
+;;   `M-x org-passwords' opens the passwords file in
+;;   `org-passwords-mode'.
+
+;;   `M-x org-passwords-generate-password' generates a random string
+;;   of numbers, lowercase letters and uppercase letters.
+
+;;   `C-u M-x org-passwords-generate-password' generates a random
+;;   string of numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase letters and
+;;   symbols.
+
+;;   `M-x org-passwords-random-words' concatenates random words from
+;;   the dictionary defined by `org-passwords-random-words-dictionary'
+;;   into a string, each word separated by the string defined in
+;;   `org-passwords-random-words-separator'.
+
+;;   `C-u M-x org-passwords-random-words' does the same as above, and
+;;   also makes substitutions according to
+;;   `org-passwords-random-words-substitutions'.
+
+;; It is also useful to set up keybindings for the functions
+;; `org-passwords-copy-username' and
+;; `org-passwords-copy-password' in the
+;; `org-passwords-mode', to easily make the passwords and usernames
+;; available to the facility for pasting text of the window system
+;; (clipboard on X and MS-Windows, pasteboard on Nextstep/Mac OS,
+;; etc.), without inserting them in the kill-ring. You can set for
+;; example:
+
+;;   (eval-after-load "org-passwords"
+;;     '(progn
+;;        (define-key org-passwords-mode-map
+;; 	 (kbd "C-c u")
+;; 	 'org-passwords-copy-username)
+;;        (define-key org-passwords-mode-map
+;; 	 (kbd "C-c p")
+;; 	 'org-passwords-copy-password)))
+
+;; Finally, to enter new passwords, you can use `org-capture' and a minimal template like:
+         
+;;   ("p" "password" entry (file "~/documents/passwords.gpg")
+;;    "* %^{Title}\n  %^{PASSWORD}p %^{USERNAME}p")
+
+;; When asked for the password you can then call either
+;; `org-passwords-generate-password' or `org-passwords-random-words'.
+;; Be sure to enable recursive minibuffers to call those functions
+;; from the minibuffer:
+
+;;   (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t)

Yes, the commit message looks good. 

Can you resent the patch as an attachment?

Simply create a dedicated branch from master, check this branch out,
commit your change, then do git format-patch master to get the patch
in the proper .patch format that you can attach.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Michael. I will look more into auth. What is your idea? To be
able to use something like auth-source-search, to pass features of the
org-passwords database as secrets? 

I only use auth for gnus and jabber, so my .authinfo.gpg is only five
lines. What setup could benefit on that? Can auth send secrets to other
applications, like a web browser?

Best,

Jorge.

If another Emacs package uses auth-source-search, it would benefit
automatically from your backend. Several packages uses it already, like
Tramp, gnus, url, erc, ldap.
