=================================

I know there already have been workflows for this, but those have been uploaded to Dropbox and the links are down.
 
Also (without knowing if this was possible with prior solutions), I tried to add a little convenience: you can enter your password as an argument directly into the Alfred launcher. This is much quicker and more convenient since you won't be prompted for a password anymore. If you don't enter your password into the launcher (or if it is wrong), you will be prompted for it.
 
(And don't worry: I'm not storing or submitting any data. You can check this in the code, it's a quite simple workflow)

Thanks for this! I was working on one for this command too. Yours is much smoother. I also picked up some tips on another I am working on.

Awesome.

Glad you like it, even better if it was helpful too.
