FEAT: Support password command #684

Description

@Brixy

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'm on a minimal OS: Void Linux, wayland, river + a window manager.

Gnome Keyring is not a a default here.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be excellent if matcha supported a password command.

Many (email) related TUIs do:

  • isync supports PassCmd
  • msmtp supports passwordeval

This would enable you to use pass, Gopass and many (GUI) password managers with CLI support.

I use age + a tiny script for password management.

Thanks a lot for matcha. Excellent work!

    Hello, thank you for this issue. We will get to implementing this as soon as we can.

    In the meantime, if you turn on secure mode the password will not require keyrings at all.

    I'm also using agenix and would like to see a password command approach.

    Hey, @Brixy, or @ericschoville. Pushed my feature, would be glad, if someone could check it out, and say if it works with your set up. #1473 (comment) here you can find the binaries, and here you can find the docs to set it up.

    Thanks a ton for your work!

    I can confirm that pass_cmd works perfectly.
