Pass for iOS

View your pass password store passwords on your iDevice.

Features

• Access and decrypt GPG-based files within your Pass-compatible store
• Copy passwords to pasteboard or display on screen
• View or copy multi-line Pass content
• Resets pasteboard contents after 45 seconds when copying data
• TouchID authentication for storing GPG passphrase

Dependencies

The following packages are available from Cydia:

• gnupg (required)
• git (optional)

Setup

1. Install the app itself.

   See https://github.com/davidjb/pass-ios/releases for a list of available pre-built .deb packages, or follow the instructions below to build your own.

2. Copy your pass password-store to /var/mobile/.password-store.

   The simplest way to do this is to store your passwords in a git repository, which you can then clone onto your device. Alternatively, you can use SCP, iFile or any other method to transfer the passwords over.

3. Set up your gpg key:

4. Export your private key from your desktop, laptop or other computer:

   (desktop)$ gpg --export-secret-key --armor ${KEY_ID} > ${KEY_ID}.asc
   

5. Copy this file to your iOS device

6. On the device, import the key:

   (device)$ gpg --import ${KEY_ID}.asc
   

7. Delete the key file

8. Test decrypting one of your passwords

   (device)$ gpg -d ~/.password-store/ENTRY.gpg
   

9. Launch and begin using the Pass app!

Using the app

After launching the app, you will be presented with a listing of files and directories in ~/.password-store. Files starting with '.' are hidden, and .gpg extensions are stripped.

Clicking on a directory will show its contents.

Clicking on a password file will show a screen with the password file details (name and *'d out password).

Clicking on the name or password box will copy the respective contents to the pasteboard (clipboard). Since the password is encrypted, you will have to enter you passphrase before it can be copied.

Building

1. Obtain the iPhone SDK, usually done via Xcode.

2. Install Homebrew and install ldid:

   brew update brew install ldid

   If on another platform, consult this setup documentation.

3. Build using the following:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/davidjb/pass-ios.git
   cd pass-ios
   make package
   

   This clones and configures the theos environment for building, producing a .deb package.

4. Install directly your device over SSH with:

   export THEOS_DEVICE_IP=[device IP]
   make install
   
   # or to clean, build and install in one
   make build-install
   

   Ensure that you have access to root on your device via SSH.

If your newly installed app doesn't appear, run uicache on your device via SSH. This will typically only be on first install or if you've updated a visual aspect that would appear on the home screen.

Todo

• Simplify initial setup

  • enter git repo url to clone
  • paste gpg key
  • investigate becoming an official App Store app

• Better details screen

  • Change UI table cells when displaying passwords (temporarily)

• Configurable Settings

  • allow showing passwords on screen rather than copying
  • base directory location (other than /var/mobile/.password-store)
  • whether to store passphrase in keychain
  • passphrase storage duration (X minutes or forever)
  • pasteboard reset time

• Password editing / adding

  • auto-commit ala pass bash script
  • trigger 'git pull' from app (also 'git push' after editing is implemented)
