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    The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface.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

    There's the pass-code extension for that:

    > A pass extension that obscures the filenames and folder hierarchy within your password store.

    > pass-code generates random filenames for each file in the password store and keeps the mapping in an encrypted file. This way, no valuable information is accessible even if your password store is leaked to the public (unless your GPG private keys were also leaked). Nevertheless, you should always ensure proper protection of your password store.

pass-import - A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

gopass - The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams

age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

OkcAgent - A utility that makes OpenKeychain available in your Termux shell

prs - 🔐 A secure, fast & convenient password manager CLI using GPG and git to sync.

pass-otp - A pass extension for managing one-time-password (OTP) tokens

OpenKeychain - OpenKeychain is an OpenPGP implementation for Android.

dotfiles - My personal monorepo: dotfiles, /etc-files, single-file scripts, vim plugins, webexts/userscripts, xmonad config, all that stuff…

passage - A fork of password-store (https://www.passwordstore.org) that uses age (https://age-encryption.org) as backend.

passhole - A secure hole for your passwords (KeePass CLI)

passage - An independent reimplementation of password-store, using `age` rather than PGP. NOTE: This isn't the passage project based on password-store. Use that; I don't really maintain this right now. https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage
