<p>Hi Simon,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I see where you're coming from, it does require the user to use a specific file format or directory layout. However, this could be quite flexible to accommodate various common strategies:</p>
<p></p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>a "username: ..." line in the file (the field name is arbitrary): e.g. --userfield username</li><li>a specific line number in the file: e.g. --userline 2</li><li>username.gpg and password.gpg files in a directory: e.g. --usernamefile username --passwordfile password</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div></div>
<p></p>

<div class="PlainText">First of all, thanks for going through the mailing list and actually<br>
digging up my proposed patch from more than a year ago. There's been<br>
been quite a bit of talk more recently on this list about adding some<br>
kind of option for quickly inserting a username as well.<br>
<br>
I've been using my own code all this time and it's served me well so<br>
far, but your solution certainly adds more versatility to passmenu (for<br>
example for saving and easily entering both a username and an email<br>
address).<br>
<br>
Your change still depends on a specific file format, and one of the<br>
central tenets of pass's development has always been to keep the format<br>
extremely simple: the password on the first line, everything else is up<br>
to the user.<br>
<br>
And although passmenu is kind of the "official" pasting UI and gets<br>
distributed directly with pass, by now I think coming up with a "new"<br>
passmenu which imposes additional restrictions and getting linked from<br>
the clients section of the website may be the way to go here.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Simon<br>
