    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    The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface.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.

    I don't use pass myself (I have severe NIH[1]), but its design has inspired me many times over: very, very few tools rise to the challenge of adhering to the Unix philosophy without cargo-culting it, and pass is one of them. I highly recommend that people looking to write engineer-friendly tools study its manpage[2].

    Two things:

    * (Yet another) password and secret manager, using modern cryptographic libraries (age) and with a strong emphasis on customizability[1]. I personally use it as a general purpose secret store for everything from passwords to command snippets.

    * A tool that runs commands when USB devices are inserted or removed, allowing a user to write filters against a variety of device metadata. The end goal is something similar to udev rules, but much nicer to configure and cross-platform. Still unreleased.
