Pass

Pass adds password-store search to the Noctalia launcher so you can copy passwords and OTP codes from pass.

Plugin

Field	Value
ID	emrtnn/pass
Entries	Launcher provider: search; service: cache
Launcher Prefix	/pass

Requirements

Install pass, pass-otp, gpg, and wl-copy on PATH.

A working password store is expected in the same location pass uses: $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR when that variable is set, otherwise the default ~/.password-store. OTP copying requires entries that are configured for pass-otp.

Usage

Open the Noctalia launcher and type /pass to search password-store entries indexed by the cache service. Activate a result from launcher provider search to copy the password with pass -c <entry>.

To copy an OTP code instead, type /pass otp <query> and activate the matching result. For example:

/pass otp github

If GPG needs an unlock passphrase, the plugin opens the configured terminal and runs the same copy command there so you can unlock the key interactively.

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
refresh_interval	int	30	Seconds between password-store rescans. Minimum 5, maximum 3600.

IPC

This plugin does not expose custom IPC actions. It provides launcher provider search and background service cache entries only.

Notes

• Filesystem reads: the service recursively scans $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR when set, otherwise ~/.password-store, and indexes non-hidden *.gpg file names. It does not read decrypted password contents.
• Spawned processes: activating a password result runs pass -c <entry>; activating an OTP result runs pass otp -c <entry>. If GPG reports an unlock failure, the plugin opens a terminal and runs the same command interactively.
• Clipboard/privacy: copied secrets are handled by pass/pass-otp and the system clipboard tooling, typically including gpg and wl-copy on Wayland. The plugin stores only entry paths/titles in Noctalia state, not decrypted secrets.
• Network: the plugin makes no network calls.
• Writes: the plugin does not write files directly. pass, pass-otp, gpg, or clipboard tools may update their own runtime files such as agent or clipboard state.
