Package: askpass Type: Package Title: Safe Password Entry for R, Git, and SSH Version: 1.1 Authors@R: person("Jeroen", "Ooms", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "jeroen@berkeley.edu", comment = c(ORCID = "0000-0002-4035-0289")) Description: Cross-platform utilities for prompting the user for credentials or a passphrase, for example to authenticate with a server or read a protected key. Includes native programs for MacOS and Windows, hence no 'tcltk' is required. Password entry can be invoked in two different ways: directly from R via the askpass() function, or indirectly as password-entry back-end for 'ssh-agent' or 'git-credential' via the SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS environment variables. Thereby the user can be prompted for credentials or a passphrase if needed when R calls out to git or ssh.
