Does tofi support #SUDO_ASKPASS ? about tofi

[philj56]

Hey, yeah this is possible with a little script. Something like

$ cat tofi-askpass.sh
#!/bin/sh
tofi --prompt-text Password: --hide-input true --require-match false < /dev/null
$ SUDO_ASKPASS="tofi-askpass.sh" sudo -A sh

works for me. You can also change the replacement character (default *) with --hidden-character.

Note that tofi makes no effort to keep the memory that it holds your input in secret (though I guess neither does dmenu with that patch, or lxqt-openssh-askpass apparently). That might be something nice to look into in the future, but I don't know if it really matters.

Thank you so much! This is a really awesome project :D

No problem, glad you like it!
