- Proton Pass has added a command line interface
- Developers will be able to safely recover from the terminal
- CLI is available on Pass Plus, Pass Family, Pass Professional and all Proton packages.
Proton Pass, one of the best password managers, has recently introduced a command line interface (CLI) that allows developers to securely retrieve secrets directly from the terminal.
This means users will be able to create workflows with simple scripts and automated tasks to improve speed and efficiency.
The CLI also does not compromise security. Credentials can be injected directly into scripts while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
Fast and secure
For the uninitiated, a CLI is like a text-only version of the Proton Pass app, where actions are taken by typing simple commands in the terminal. While the average user prefers to tap a button, advanced users can use the CLI to set up automated workflows that speed up tasks without sacrificing security.
Users can do almost everything the Proton Pass app can do, such as manage passwords, notes, credit cards, and other stored items. Users can also modify vaults within the CLI, as well as manage member access. Application password authentication also allows users to work in CI/CD, servers, containers, and headless environments.
CLI is available on Pass Plus, Pass Family, Pass Professional and all Proton packages. Free users will need to upgrade to a paid plan to access the CLI.
Son Nguyen Kim, founder of SimpleLogin, said: “By implementing Proton Pass into your existing workflows, you can enable faster workflows, reduce context switching, and implement secure automation in local development, servers, and CI/CD environments. It is designed to help you work faster and more securely, fitting into your workday with ease.”
