okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1 — yes we're in the big leagues now 💅 this one's all about nss-passwords, and honestly? she's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

nss-passwords — read passwords from Mozilla keyrings from command line

like. from the command line. no GUI. no clicking. just vibes and text. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nss-passwords [options] query

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents nss-passwords briefly — that's the whole job of this page, and she does it 💖

nss-passwords is a program that reads passwords from keyrings used by Mozilla products, like Firefox and Thunderbird. the way that it can run entirely in text mode — no cap, fully terminal-coded, main character energy, not a single window in sight. 🔥

and what's query? glad you asked. query is a string that will be looked for in the hostname entries of the keyring. so you hand her a lil string, and she goes hunting through the hostname entries for it. periodt. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -d dir — Profile directory. By default, Firefox default profile is guessed. she just knows, iykyk 🧚
• -p prog — Program used to ask for a password. By default, pinentry(1) is used. 💜
• -help, --help — Show summary of options. the classic. the icon. the "help me help you" moment 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• pinentry(1).
