OpenKeychain VS Pass4Win

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/238257723 https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/pull/2804

In addition to my PC set up I am also using the Android Password Store in combination with OpenKeyChain. Everything works fine except that decrypting any password simply works without requiring my PIN. I've tried both USB C connection and NFC and neither interface requires the PIN.

OpenKeychain is an Android app for doing some basic GPG related work. It can verify signatures (hidden in the "encrypt/decrypt" menu)

Also it integrates i.e. with K-9 mail to sign and verify.

OpenKeychain https://www.openkeychain.org/ integrates with multiple apps for encrypting your mail, plain texts, backups, xmpp chats.

I don't know what features you are looking for in encryption software but OpenKeychain is foss, audited and works just fine if you just want basic encryption/decryption/signing.

OpenKeychain: Easy PGP (version 5.8.0): Encrypt your Files and Communications. Compatible with the OpenPGP Standard.

I use mailbox.org with the encrypted inbox, Mozilla Thunderbird on desktop, and FairEmail + OpenKeychain on Android. I think StartMail is the only other one of those four options that supports standard IMAP and SMTP.

On Android OpenKeychain, TermBot, and K-9 Mail, are awesome.

I would try openpgp, you can use https://www.gpg4win.org/ on windows and https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain (not actively developed, if someone knows a good alternative please comment) for android.

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The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface.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