ADD -e option in show to encrypt the password before sending to the clipboard

Daniel Emilio Garcia requested to merge danielemiliogarcia/password-store:encrypt-clipboard into master

Many modern password managers can hide the copied/pasted passwords from clipboards, sniffers.

This Merge request intends to add a feature to copy encrypted passwords to the clipboard so that clipboard sniffers can't see the plain text password.

It is the responsibility of the app that uses the password to decrypt it. I use a browser extension to do so. The encryption/decryption is made using GPG defaults that can be managed with HSM supporting GPG.

Chrome Extension for decryption: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clippass/hnpffflijhlfemngdipepjkjkcgfolpf Extension sources: https://github.com/danielemiliogarcia/clippass Usage example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHnr-87B-f0
