lssh
LSSH(1) General Commands Manual LSSH(1)
NAME
lssh - a wrapper for Lastpass CLI and ssh-agent
SYNOPSIS
lssh [ -hv ] [ssh key name]
DESRIPTION
lssh quickly activates ssh keys by name, filling passwords via Lastpass CLI, and
adding them to ssh-agent. Keys are activated for 1-hour at a time.
The ssh key name provided to lssh will be used to look up both the key itself and
the password for the key. If that key has a password, lssh will search Lastpass for
an entry named `SSH: [ssh key name]' and autofill the password with the results. If
that entry is not found, `[ssh key name]' will also be attempted before giving up
on a password search. The key will be passed to the ssh-agent regardless.
OPTIONS
-h Shows simple help.
-v Shows current version number.
