The "pass" password manager has a show QR code option, which makes it
easy to transfer a single password to a phone. On the phone, you just
copy and paste the password into whatever program. This is perfect for
me, since I don't want my phone to have access to all my passwords, but
do occasionally need one there.

Might it make sense to add a similar feature to impass? I'll leave that
to you. I tried to cobble something together from existing parts, and
the script below does a decent job. But a feature would make the idea
discoverable to users; I would not have thought of doing this if I had
not see the feature in "pass".

#!/bin/sh
buf="$(xsel)"
IMPASS_XPASTE=xclip impass gui
xsel -b | qr
echo "$buf" | xsel -i

Hey Joey, thanks so much for the feedback.

I in fact have been using an extension to impass that does exactly this
(very similar to what you suggest), but I haven't gotten around to
pushing it upstream.  I'll try to do that asap and push out a new
release.

Thanks again for the feedback!
