== Description

Yak is a simple command line app to store and retrieve passwords securely
under a master password, and allows one password repository per system user.
Retrieved passwords get copied to the clipboard by default.


== Configuration

Config can be set in ~/.yakrc.

Session is the length of time in seconds that Yak will remember the
master password:
:session : 30

If using sessions is not desired and you want to enter the
master password every time, set:
:session : false

Always set the password by default, use:
:password : plain_text_password

Turn off password confirmation prompts when a new password is entered:
:confirm_prompt : false

Using bash completion for stored keys:
:bash_completion : true #=> completion only available during session
:bash_completion : :always #=> completion always available (keys exposed)


== Usage

Yak will always prompt you for the master password unless a yak session is
present, or the :password option is set in ~/.yakrc.
Yak sessions get refreshed everytime yak is called.

Adding a new password:
$ yak -a gmail
# prompts user for gmail password to save

$ yak -a gmail my_password
# uses my_password as gmail password and overwrites old value

Retrieving a saved password:
$ yak gmail
# copies the gmail password to the clipboard

$ yak -p gmail
>> my_password
# outputs gmail password to stdout

Removing a stored password:
$ yak -r gmail
# deletes gmail entry completely

Changing the master password:
$ yak -n
# prompts for old password first, then the new password

Listing keys:
$ yak --list
# returns all saved keys

$ yak --list key
# returns all keys matching /key/

$ yak --list ^key$
# returns unique key matching /^key$/
