    I've been using pass for several years now and I recommend it to my friends, but I usually get weird looks when I say I store my passwords in a git repo (it's not as bad as it sounds!). Here's why:

    - I host my git repo on my desktop computer (through SSH), so it's not exposed anywhere except if you have SSH access to my computer. (A lot of people seem to think git = GitHub which is not true).

    - The passwords are GPG encrypted so even if it were leaked that would be okay as long as my secret key remains secure.

    As far as usability goes, I usually use the -c option to copy/paste my passwords. I used a browser extension for awhile, but I haven't gotten around to reinstalling since the copy/paste works fine for me. Syncing with my phone and Linux devices works perfectly (since it's just git).

    The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface. But this is still okay since I can SSH to my desktop computer from Windows and copy/paste the passwords from there.

  • How to Handle Secrets on the Command Line
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2021
    The difficulties mentioned in the article with passing secrets on the command line is one of the reasons why we wrote encpass.sh (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh). We had a similar need for a lightweight solution for managing secrets for simple shell scripts on our local workstations and in restricted environments. Bonus, it can be easily customized with extension scripts to adapt functions for your own specific needs. See our keybase extension for an example -> https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...

    We made an extension for encpass.sh that stores secrets in Keybase (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...) if that sort of thing is of interest to you. Outside of personal secrets, it can be used as a sort of low cost stand in for shared secrets that you might use something like Vault for in a team environment.
