clivepass(1)
NAME
clivepass - the login password utility for clive
SYNOPSIS
clivepass [option]...
DESCRIPTION
clivepass is a replacement for stored plain-text website login
passwords used with clive(1). It keeps website login passwords
encrypted in a repository file that can be accessed with a global
passphrase. Typically these login passwords are passed in plain-text
form to clive(1) on command line or from a config file.
Note that even though the passwords are encrypted on disk, they are
passed in plain-text over the network. This means the passwords are
still visible to anyone intercepting the network traffic.
Historically, a similar utility existed as part of clive 1.0 but was
removed in clive 2.0 and later rewritten in Perl as part of the cliveutils project which is a set of additional utilities for clive(1).

EXAMPLES
- Create new password repository file:

- Add "myusername" to the repository:
- % clivepass -a myusername
- Note that "myusername" should be the login username for the
website. - Get login password for "myusername":
- % clivepass -g myusername
- There is a more comprehensive example of clive(1) using
clivepass(1) in the clive(1) manual page.

file. You can override this by setting the CLIVEPASS_HOME environment
variable.
