pass-coffin vs passage

pass-coffin

A password store extension to hide data inside a signed and encrypted coffin (by ayushnix)

Password store and secret manager using age encryption. This is my attempt to replace passwordstore's use of PGP, with age encryption. I am sure there are more elegant ways to accomplish this, but it is working for my purposes. (by chrisswanda)

Besides pass-tomb, there's also pass-coffin which doesn't need to rely on a 3k+ line ZSH script. I'll add support for using age and signify in pass-coffin soon.
