  • Pa – a simple password manager based on age

    If using the OpenPGP applet over NFC is possible, then it's almost certainly possible to use the PIV one with age keys too!

    The Andorid password-store app is working on an implementation of age in Kotlin (https://github.com/android-password-store/kage) and I think they already support passage stores. Maybe you could open a feature request for age-plugin-yubikey compatibility? If you do, feel free to tag me, and I can help make sure the formats are well specified.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the Kotlin implementation of age[0] because once that's finished, Android Password Store[1] will be able to offer age encryption next to/ instead of gpg.
