It gives terminal users the `lpass` command for listing, showing, generating, adding, editing, and syncing secrets without using the browser extension or web UI. ### Project history LastPass announced the open-sourced command-line application on 2014-10-22, the same date recorded as the GitHub repository creation date. The README identifies the project as a LastPass.com command-line interface and carries a 2014-2019 LastPass copyright notice. The project was designed for GNU/Linux, Cygwin, and Mac OS X, with dependencies such as OpenSSL or LibreSSL, libcurl, libxml2, and optional clipboard helpers. Its manpage-oriented documentation and `make install-doc` target reflect a Unix command-line packaging style rather than an app-store distribution model. ### Adoption history Package adoption followed quickly in Unix ecosystems. The README documents installation through Arch, Fedora, EPEL, Debian/Ubuntu build dependencies, Gentoo, Homebrew, MacPorts, FreeBSD ports, and Cygwin, making `lpass` a common terminal bridge for LastPass users on developer workstations and servers. From a package-manager perspective, LastPass CLI is notable because it packages a proprietary SaaS password manager workflow as a conventional open-source CLI with shell completion, manpages, and data/cache locations that can be managed by Unix package systems. ### How it is used Typical use starts with `lpass login`, then commands such as `lpass ls`, `lpass show`, `lpass generate`, `lpass edit`, and clipboard-oriented password retrieval. The documented storage paths include encrypted vault blobs and session tokens, so the tool sits directly in the secrets-management path for shell scripts and interactive terminal use. ### Why package nerds care LastPass CLI matters to package nerds because it is a real-world example of a vendor SaaS client being distributed like a normal Unix utility: source on GitHub, package recipes across distributions, optional manpage generation, and XDG-style data/config support. It also exposed the tension around packaging cloud credentials locally: the package is small and scriptable, but its cached blob and session token files are security-sensitive runtime state rather than ordinary configuration. ### Timeline - 2014-10-22: LastPass announced and open-sourced the command-line application. - 2014-10-22: GitHub repository created. - 2019-04-15: v1.3.3 release published. - 2024-11-14: v1.6.1 release published. ### Related projects - Related pieces include the LastPass web service, LastPass browser extensions, pinentry, libcurl, libxml2, OpenSSL or LibreSSL, and platform clipboard tools such as xclip, xsel, pbcopy, and Cygwin putclip. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
