Re: Background Password App
Pamula Harrison
Hi! My code page looks a little different than the one attached in the link, but I tried to put in the code above. But a waterfall plays as a background video only when i click refresh page. Any advice on how to fix this and change video?
The script below provides a mild password protection for changing the wallpaper in "home" situations. Mild because the password is stored inside the script in plain text. Nevertheless it should prevent average users from changing the wallpaper.
What it does is that when a user changes the wallpaper, it changes back immediately, and the user is prompted for a password. If the password is correct, the wallpaper changes into the newly set one, otherwise nothing happens.
Copy the script below into an empty file, set a password of your choice in the head section (I wouldn't choose your sudo password for security reasons, since it is in plain text!) and save it as name.py, run it by the command:
You can go to this md5 generator, put your string and replace a799d7cf3d9ca647f1320fc6bfaf7408 with whatever you like. Try finding out for yourself what this corresponds. You'll realize how secure this is.
I want to run a command sudo apt-get update &. However after hitting enter, when i hit for jobs, it shows the status of these commands as stopped. My guess is that by pushing the process into background I did not provide it an opportunity to ask password. Is there a way to run a process in background which requires a password ?
and reboot (or maybe log out/log in works, not sure) to find you can type suo commands without needing to enter a password. This, of course, means other people can so ensure you always leave your computer locked and don't have automatic login enabled.
it will run the command apt-get update without prompt for a password and backgroud,
and will redirect (append) the stdout and the stderr to a log file in your home named myaptupd.log, just in case you can check if everything is allright with the apt-get update command.
This trailing ampersand directs the shell to run the command in the background, that is, it is forked and run in a separate sub-shell, as a job, asynchronously. The shell will immediately return the return status of 0 for true and continue as normal, either processing further commands in a script or returning the cursor focus back to the user in a Linux terminal.
In this example, all 3 python scripts are run at the same time, in separate sub-shells. Their stdout will still be attached to the parent shell, so if running this from a Linux terminal, you will still see the outputs.
Hi,
Every time i want to fill in my password with the Chrome Extension, i have to start the Desktop Version.
I unlock with Windows Hello.
Is it possible to start Bitwarden Desktop with Windows start in the Background?
If on the other hand you only want to start the desktop version automatically and in the background go to the Settings of the desktop version and activate both options Start To Tray Icon and Start automatically on login.
I'm running Enpass Pro for Windows and am running into an issue where I keep having to enter in my master password, I believe it started happening recently so maybe it's an issue with one of the Windows updates. I'm on Win 10 Pro 22H2. Normally I'd only open Enpass once, and after closing it, reopening it would only require my PIN unless I rebooted the PC. But lately it seems like Enpass is requiring the master password even without a reboot, almost every time I open the program. I've ensured I haven't changed any settings and PIN access is still enabled. I have minimize to system tray and open automatically at system startup enabled.
Thanks, uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed it, it seems something was kicking Enpass from background. Of note, there is an issue if you re install with a different version. I originally had the windows store version, after uninstalling I installed the one from Enpass' website but it looked for a backup in a different location than the backup from the windows store one. I was also unable to sign in to activate my account, hitting that button and nothing would happen. I wasn't able to sync to OneDrive, it just sat there forever trying to sync. So I uninstalled the Enpass' website one and reinstalled the Windows store one and that fixed everything.
If none of the above steps help, please share the below details with me and I'll have this further investigated for you - MyAccountAccess is the Credit Card Account service portal from Elan Financial Services for its Credit Card Members.
Enpass requires the master password in the following scenarios even if the PIN is enabled: 1. when the app is closed manually. 2. device is rebooted. 3.when too many apps are active in the device background (in this case, OS automatically kills some apps to claim memory)
Also, you can use the Fingerprint/Bio-metrics from the Enpass Security settings to avoid using Enpass master password altogether.
Can you relate where in the Windows app I can find this setting? Entering in the master password is a huge pain, especially since Enpass likes to crash on Windows frequently, sometimes multiple times in a row! I have mine set to use PIN, but it still asks for the master password after a crash. From what Enpass is saying that's expected behavior, but if you are saying it can be bypassed I would highly prefer that.

I am checking if I can reset the local password of a scoped app user. I don't have access to the scoped app, hence it doesn't allow me to reset it manually and that is expected. I tried to run a background script and it also, gave me the same error. Then I set up a scheduled job, which executes the same script, but it runs as system user, though I can see the script is executing as expected (I logged something to check this as well) and user record doesn't get updated.
The next thing I tried was to reset password of a user who doesn't have scoped app privileges. The background script allows me to reset password, however that password doesn't work when I try to login to the user's account.
I checked this old community post =community_question&sys_id=38df76addb58dbc01dcaf3231f9619be; and looks like it had worked for them. Has anything changed since in terms of encryption on password field?
However, despite these adjustments, the 1Password application continues to immediately close upon exiting. This forces me to re-enter my password each time I wish to utilize it, particularly in Safari and other applications.
Given the steps I've taken and the persistence of the issue, it seems probable that a software bug is the root cause. I kindly request your team's immediate attention to investigate and rectify this issue as it's considerably affecting my ability to use the 1Password application efficiently.
If you'd like 1Password to stay running, and unlocked, in the background then you'll need to turn the menu bar icon on. I can file a feature request on your behalf to have the team look into separating seeing 1Password in menu bar from keeping 1Password running when all windows are closed if you wish. Let me know. ?
My colleagues on Twitter may be referring to a different issue, I don't have access to your conversation there. I do see that you posted in a different thread and I've merged your comments together into one thread so that we can keep the conversation in the same place.
The behaviour that we're discussing in this thread, where 1Password is closing and locking after you close the main window and the menu bar icon is turned off isn't considered a bug by our development team since 1Password is functioning as intended and as designed. I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have the team look into changing this behaviour in the future.
The reason why I use gnome-keyring is because I don't want to enter ssh key passphrase once upon a reboot. And this is because there are many CCTV cameras around. I am afraid if some kinda secret CCTV camera records what I typed. I always avoid entering passwords and trying to enter as less time as possible.
Today, I am thinking to reduce one password requirement and make the system autologin, so no need to enter system user login password anymore. I think this is still in the same security level as before because LUKS parittion encryption is still there. (OR less secure, but still secure with LUKS)
Once I enable autologin, I find out the gnome keyring is no longer unlocked automatically anymore. If I want to unlock it with my current setup, I have to enter unlock password again, that is the second password I want to avoid.
I don't really care there is no password to unlock the keyring, because I have LUKS partition encryption and people can not use the keyring unless they know my LUKS password. But I do care if any running programs can access some plain text keys directly from file system if I remove the keyring password.
The first problem is that your password is the only encryption key source that GNOME Keyring has available to it. If you remove the password, then GNOME Keyring will be forced to store its password database completely unencrypted. (It'll even convert keyrings/login.keyring from binary database to textual format to make this very clear.)
This does not directly change anything regarding your SSH key files: if they were encrypted before, they will still be encrypted after. But their encryption passphrase, and indeed all other passwords and passphrases (possibly even your GnuPG key passphrase), will be stored inside GNOME Keyring's database in plain text.
