RBW Menu

This script allows for interactively getting credentials from rbw, probably triggered via window-manager keybinding.

Roadmap

This does exactly what I need; I don't plan to change much.

Dependencies

• rbw
• jq - JSON parser
• wofi - Optional menu GUI. Trivial to replace with dmenu, bemenu, fzf, or whatever else.

Installation

For all methods:

0. Look over the source code.
1. Install and set up rbw

From Source

1. Install dependencies
2. clone this repo
3. # make install

Packages

• AUR

(If you package it somewhere else, feel free to submit a PR adding it to this list.)

Usage

• Show menu, print username for selected item to stdout: $ rbw-menu
• Show menu, copy password for selected item to clipboard: $ rbw-menu password | wl-copy
• Show menu, copy OTP for selected item to clipboard: $ rbw-menu code | wl-copy
• Use a different picker: RBW_MENU_COMMAND="fzf" rbw-menu

I use these scripts with sway, though they'll work with anything. Relevant part of my config:

bindsym $mod+p exec rbw-menu password | wl-copy
bindsym $mod+u exec rbw-menu username | wl-copy
bindsym $mod+o exec rbw-menu code | wl-copy

Using a different menu

By default, we use wofi. To change this, set the RBW_MENU_COMMAND environment variable to anything which can accept a list from STDIN, and return a single line from that list to STDOUT.

Releases

• 1.0 - Initial release
• 1.1 - Remove bespoke OTP support, use rbw code instead
• 1.2 - Check for and handle locked vault
• 1.3 - Remove undocumented bash dependency; rewrite script to be POSIX sh compliant
