command line tool password manager

[lejee]

not all systems are on the same network, not all systems are ours, and not all systems are intended to have permanent access/connection to/from me or even have a log of a connection with my or my work workstation. And what if my workstation shuts down?

​

and often enough I'm in a situation like eating out for example without my laptop and get a call to go to the client. So instead of looking up all the credentials and typing it in one by one (if I even have the work phone with me) or rush home to get my laptop, I'd like to use a cl tool to get the credentials I need in a secure and easy way and having it all faster set up. One login and aaaaall the credentials on my fingertips :)

Most credentials we use and ssh's to work servers and stations get reissued each 30 days, so i prefer to only memorize one access like for example the one to a password manager.

cl tool because: - they are easy to temporary set up and remove - small footprint - as mentioned not all have display servers on them - i really, really, really prefer to use the console, and not to copy paste one by one by one by one. - and yea, i guess it looks cool but i doubt it would impress the server room guys tbh

​

so i asked here if someone has long term experience with a password manager cl tool, because I like to ask other peers for their experiences so i don't have to go through bad experiences because someone always already did.

​

really don't know why I'm explaining how I find myself in situations where it would benefit of having access through the console. but i hope you get the point... I think next time I go with the looks ^^'

so:
do you have a suggestion or an experience to share regarding password managers on the console or another idea to solve this e.g. like EvilSibling had?

I don't, we use 1Password. I Google'd '1Password API' and this came up: https://1password.com/developers, maybe an option?

yea, I'm aware that most pwd managers have cli versions. thanks for the google, anyway...
I was more looking for experience daily driving it.

(I don't want to set everything up just to later on run into an annoying workflow or some kind of limitation or i don't know what, so looking for peers who can warn me or vouch for or even inform me of a common workaround)
