pass-import VS rofi-pass

That way you can delegate the password handling to another program, e.g. a password manager like pass(1) (https://www.passwordstore.org/) or some interactive graphical prompt.

I want to move to something compatible with https://www.passwordstore.org/ - an open standard for keeping your passwords in a folder encrypted with OpenPGP.

The problem is that I'm nervous to give an unknown Android app and browser plugin total control of my passwords and access to my github account when I don't have time to review it's code properly. I have a bit more trust ing the command line tools, but I'd like to be sure that more people are looking at the code before I trust my life to it.

Doesn't sound very secure. Also when you realize that you anyway have to trust cryptography, I believe it starts making a lot of sense to have an actual cryptographic key and encrypt it with one good random password you learn by heart.

I use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/, which encrypts my passwords with my GPG key, which comes from my Yubikey, which I unlock with a password. That means that I only need to remember one password, and it feels a lot more secure than your pattern based on url or brand.

i use pass and keep my database on a local git repo. it encrypts your passwords with gpg and is a really simple command line program

0. Pass is just text files encrypted with gpg. I needed just one password on one work computer, where I had my gpg key, but not all my passwords. Decrypted the file and that was it.

1. There are plugins and web clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

Why not use some better and entirely open solution, like pass?

https://www.passwordstore.org/

As a user of pass for like 4 years, I enjoy reading all those silly threads on password managers doing this and that. Fantastic. And it’s not even an upgrade to use the GUI app here, I can take any often used password of mine with pure Ctrl + R in my terminal, just a second and it’s here, with no need to do extra backups, all the history is in git, and no party will ever change anything about my passwords.

I've been incredibly happy with https://www.passwordstore.org/ for years. The data store is a file hierarchy, with the files themselves encrypted with GPG. Sync is via git. TOTP support with a plugin.

It's supposed to be cross platform standalone rofi-pass for my Windows. On Linux I use the original one and it's great

I made this post a few weeks ago about tessen's initial release. Since then, I've added a few features that might've prevented rofi-pass users from switching to Wayland based compositors (I was one of them).

on my laptop I use: https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass and https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/qute-pass for qutebrowser integration

Pass combined with rofi-pass

I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

rofi-pass is also very nice you already use rofi

Easy to sync because it's a git repo, supports every type of MFA / key under the sun (well, everything that GPG does, because it's basically a frontend for GPG). Easy to programmatically search / create scripts for (I use rofi-pass). Easy to install on a vps and access from anywhere. Most importantly, does one thing and does it well, Unix philosophy.
