lpass:tldr:c9c44

lpass: Show password for a specified entry.
$ lpass show ${myinbox} --password
try on your machine

This command is used to retrieve and display the password for a specific item or entry stored in the password manager called "LastPass".

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • lpass show: This is the command to interact with LastPass and retrieve information about a stored item.
  • ${myinbox}: This is a variable placeholder that represents the name or identifier of the item or entry you want to retrieve the password for. This should be replaced with the actual name or identifier of the item you wish to retrieve. For example, if you have an item in LastPass called "My Inbox", you would replace ${myinbox} with "My Inbox".
  • --password: This flag tells LastPass to specifically retrieve and display the password of the specified item.

By executing this command with the correct item identifier, the password for that specific item will be displayed on the terminal or command line interface.
