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  entry  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.
