Change passwords that match a regular expression

[duckbrain]

Before using pass some users may have been using a formula for their passwords. It would be great if we could have the extension search for passwords that match a regular expression, so we can find and replace those with non-generated passwords.

Hi,

So you would like something like an --exclude option that don't update if it match a reg expression.

I like the proposition. I will implement it in the future. But allow a bit of time (at least 3 months), I do not have the time at the moment. I also plan a full rewrite of the extension in python with a lot of new features, this exclude feature will be part of this re-write.

I was actually thinking the opposite. An --include option, so say I used to make my passwords with a pattern like below mixed in with my generated passwords since I started using pass. I could search for passwords I need to update to randomly generated passwords.

facebookMy~SecurePassword1!
googleMySecurePassword1! # Some websites don't allow '~'
twitterMy~SecurePassword1. # Some '!'
dmvSecu. # Why does the DMV only allow 8 chars?

No problem on time. Sounds good!

This is now implemented with both the --include and --exclude options

Thanks, this works great!
