NAME

       type-pwd - tool which wraps sphinx(1) to get and type a password to an X11 application

SYNOPSIS

              type-pwd username hostname

DESCRIPTION

       This script combines getpwd(1), exec-on-click(1) and the sphinx(1) client in such a way, that it securely
       queries for your master password, and then waits until you click somewhere (hopefully into a password en‐
       try  field)  and then sends the password as keystrokes.  Using this mechanism you make sure your password
       is never on your clipboard where malware might steal it.  And also it allows to enter  your  password  on
       those sites that disable copy/pasting into password fields.

       When you click make sure you click in the password entry field where you want the password to be entered.
