gopassbridge

A web extension for Firefox and Chrome to insert login credentials from gopass

Summary

Gopass is the awesome command line password manager. This plugin enables input of login credentials from gopass. To access gopass, a native app has to be configured in the browser in addition to installing this extension. The native app is a wrapper that calls gopass-jsonapi to communicate via stdin/stdout.

Build and install browser extension from source

See Makefile release target. For Firefox, the development plugin can be installed only temporarily while for Chrome, the extracted extension can be installed permanently.

Connect to gopass

The connection to gopass is achieved via the native messaging API. For this a native messaging manifest must be configured for your browser.

Since gopass v1.12 gopass-jsonapi has moved to its own repo where the binary can be downloaded and unpacked from the archive files on Github Releases.

It is recommended that you set up the manifests with gopass-jsonapi as described in the gopass documentation, "filling passwords from browser". In most cases it is enough to run gopass-jsonapi configure and follow the tutorial.

More details about Native Messaging can be found in the Chrome and MDN documentation.

Change default shortcut

On firefox, you can change the shortcut via "manage extension shortcut" in the extension menu. In Chrome under "keyboard shortcuts" in the hamburger menu in extensions.
