In X11 it's also possible to get passwords typed automatically with xdotool, which I call through an xmonad package. The only thing I'm missing is more powerful autocompletion.

Are you aware of passmenu, which is part of pass? The autocompletion/selection process works quite well for me

I wasn't, thanks! It's very nice to be able to type part of the domain name first and then space and then part of the username.

... but as far as I can see, passmenu just copies to clipboard and doesn't use xdotool?

This is a bit late now (I need a way to follow up on my comments). But it can actually use xdotool if you run it with the --type option. See also the source here: https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/contrib/dmenu/pass...

Thanks. There wasn't any manual page or --help output, so I gave up on it, but now this may be the best option I know of. But, yeah, I could have just `cat /bin/passmenu`.
