NAME

       getpwd - simple tool that queries a password from a user and writes it to standard output

SYNOPSIS

              getpwd ["prompt"] | sphinx get username hostname

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple script which uses pinentry from the gnupg project to query a password and
       write it out to standard output.  Which pinentry variant you use, is up to you, it can  be
       a  curses,  gtk  or  qt  interface.   This  should  be  safer than echoing a password into
       pwdsphinx, since your password will not show up in your process list nor your command line
       history.

       The only parameter this tool takes is a prompt to display when asking for the password.
