pass-bc

A pass extension for managing TOTP Backup Codes

Forked from pass-botp

This version supports adding TOTP Backup Codes to the same file which contains the password

Usage

$ pass bc
Usage: pass bc [--clip,-c] pass-name

Example

pass-bc assumes your backup codes are stored line by line in the password file, enclosed with ## pass-bc.

E.g. password-file.gpg:

somepassword

some other metadate

## pass-bc
111 111
222 222
333 333
444 444
## pass-bc

pass-bc will provide you with the first non-commented line, and then comment that line out:

$ pass botp password-file
111 111

password-file will now be:

somepassword

some other metadate

## pass-bc
# 111 111
222 222
333 333
444 444
## pass-bc

On each subsequent run, pass-bc will give the next available backup code (in this case, 222 222) until none remain.

Copying to clipboard

Simply add -c or --clip

$ pass bc -c password-file
Copied Backup code for password-file to clipboard. Will clear in X seconds.
