A pass extension that helps to keep the whole tree of password encrypted inside a tomb.
Due to the structure of pass, file- and directory names are not encrypted in the password store. pass-tomb provides a convenient solution to put your password store in a tomb and then keep your password tree encrypted when you are not using it.
It uses the same GPG key to encrypt passwords and tomb, therefore you don't need to manage more key or secret. Moreover, you can ask pass-tomb to automatically close your store after a given time.
The new workflow is the following:
- Create a password tomb with
pass tomb
- Create a new tomb and open it in
~/.password-store - Initialise the password store with the same GPG key
- Use tomb as usual
- When finished, close the password tomb:
pass close - To use pass again, you need to open the password tomb:
pass open
pass tomb 1.0 - A pass extension that helps to keep the whole tree of
password encrypted inside a tomb.
Usage:
pass tomb [-n] [-t time] [-p subfolder] gpg-id...
Create and initialise a new password tomb
Use gpg-id for encryption of both tomb and passwords
pass open [subfolder] [-t time]
Open a password tomb
pass close [store]
Close a password tomb
Options:
-n, --no-init Do not initialise the password store
-t, --timer Close the store after a given time
-p, --path Create the store for that specific subfolder
-q, --quiet Be quiet
-v, --verbose Be verbose
-d, --debug Print tomb debug messages
--unsafe Speed up tomb creation (for testing only)
-V, --version Show version information.
-h, --help Print this help message and exit.
More information may be found in the pass-tomb(1) man page.
See man pass-tomb for more information.
Create a new password tomb
$ pass tomb <gpg-id>
(*) Your password tomb has been created and opened in ~/.password-store.
(*) Password store initialized for <gpg-id>
. Your tomb is: ~/.password.tomb
. Your tomb key is: ~/.password.key.tomb
. You can now use pass as usual.
. When finished, close the password tomb using 'pass close'.
Open a password tomb
$ pass open
(*) Your password tomb has been opened in ~/.password-store.
. You can now use pass as usual.
. When finished, close the password tomb using 'pass close'.
Close a password tomb
$ pass close
(*) Your password tomb has been closed.
. Your passwords remain present in ~/.password.tomb.
Create a new password tomb and set a timer
$ pass tomb <gpg-id> --timer=1h
(*) Your password tomb has been created and opened in ~/.password-store.
(*) Password store initialized for <gpg-id>
. Your tomb is: ~/.password.tomb
. Your tomb key is: ~/.password.key.tomb
. You can now use pass as usual.
. This password store will be closed in 1h
$ pass open
(*) Your password tomb has been opened in ~/.password-store.
. You can now use pass as usual.
. This password store will be closed in 1h
Open a password store and set a timer
$ pass open --timer=10min
(*) Your password tomb has been opened in ~/.password-store.
. You can now use pass as usual.
. This password store will be closed in 10min
PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB: path totombexecutablePASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_FILE: path to the password tomb (default:~/.password.tomb)PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_KEY: path to the password tomb key file (default:~/.password.key.tomb)PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_SIZE: password tomb size in MB (default:10)
It is possible to create multiple pass tomb and open them separately. You only need to set the tomb file, key and the password store directory manually using the environment variables:
Create a tomb
PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_FILE=<tomb_path> PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_KEY=<key_path> PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=<dir_path> pass tomb <gpgid>Open/Close a tomb
PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_FILE=<tomb_path> PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_KEY=<key_path> PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=<dir_path> pass open
PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_FILE=<tomb_path> PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_KEY=<key_path> PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=<dir_path> pass closeIf you always need a second password store, you can create a pass alias, pass2 that will manage the second store with in .bashrc:
alias pass2='PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_FILE=<tomb_path> PASSWORD_STORE_TOMB_KEY=<key_path> PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=<dir_path> pass'Using tomb to store your password repository, you can take advantage of the tomb advanced feature like steganography and private cloud storage. The tomb website provide a good presentation of the features available with tomb. Moreover, you can read my guide on how to use Tomb with GPG keys.

pacaur -S pass-tombRequirements
tomb 2.4or greater.- A
systemdlinux distribution is required to use the timer feature. pass 1.7.0or greater.- If you do not want to install this extension as system extension, you need to
enable user extension with
PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass. You can create an alias in.bashrc:alias pass='PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=true pass'
