Simplify secret sending procedure with a simple python script

We recently added some services that requires me, to generate and send accesses to users. I’m a lonely DevOps doing this, so I lose quite some time every week with these access requests. I cannot automate generating some of the secrets, because it requires human interaction or 2FA, but I can automate this:

• Secret Gather (after the info has been created)
• Secret creation on OTS
• Secret sending via slack

So I started working on in and I came with this:

access-sender/access-sender.py at master · adsanz/access-sender

This script will basically:

• Gather a secret from AWS, a file, or the command line
• Generate the secret via onetimesecret API
• Send it via slack, optionally, if you don’t specify an email, no slack message will be sent.

Now I just have to press enter, in what took me 5 minutes per user.
