Why not use a decent login manager, that makes it easy to look up passwords, rather than the (usually fairly bad) ones built into web browsers? I use lastpass, but if I was starting over I'd probably use pass: https://www.passwordstore.org/ there are other options too. I don't find it at all difficult to go to the (pinned) LastPass tab in my browser, type 'fedora' in the search box to find my FAS password, and right-click / 'copy password' to copy it to the clipboard. For your case (working from a remote console), pass looks especially suitable. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
