SSH key management with LastPass

This repository has a tool called lastpass-ssh which integrates LastPass
with SSH. You store your SSH key passphrases in LastPass, and SSH key files
somewhere else. To start using SSH, you type lastpass-ssh and it will
unlock all SSH keys with appropriate passphrases taken from LastPass.

How to install

Install the LastPass command line client (lpass) from a lastpass-cli
package and lastpass-ssh Gem:

brew install lastpass-cli
gem install lastpass-ssh

Setup

You make yourself an "SSH" subfolder in the LastPass' "Secure Notes" and add
secure notes there. Each note has a name and a passphrase. The name
corresponds to the filename of the SSH key file, and the passphrase is its
key's passphrase.

Example: if you have a key like myrepos in ~/.ssh/, then the name of the
Secure Note would be myrepos.

How to use

Run:

lastpass-ssh

It will poll the "Secure Notes/SSH" folder and for each note of name "A",
it'll try to perform ssh-add ~/.ssh/A with an appropriate passphrase.

You can change the location of keys by passing
--keys-path=<where-you-have-keys>. By default all keys are added. You
can change this behavior by passing --key=KEYNAME option, where KEYNAME
is the name of the key file you want to add.

Details

Internally the lastpass-ssh script is based on the
lpass command line tool
provided by LastPass team themselves.
