passhole VS kbs2

What about something like passhole? Use your existing keepassxc database from the command line.

The KeePass format has been around for years. I don't really understand why people keep using pass, or why it bills itself as the "standard" Unix password manager.

There are also already command line KeePass utilities, like passhole [0] (mine) and keepassxc-cli.

I wrote a pass equivalent for KeePass for this very reason [0]. KeePass doesn't leak any metadata because everything is contained in a single file.

There is passhole for cli https://github.com/Evidlo/passhole

I don't use pass myself (I have severe NIH[1]), but its design has inspired me many times over: very, very few tools rise to the challenge of adhering to the Unix philosophy without cargo-culting it, and pass is one of them. I highly recommend that people looking to write engineer-friendly tools study its manpage[2].

Two things:

* (Yet another) password and secret manager, using modern cryptographic libraries (age) and with a strong emphasis on customizability[1]. I personally use it as a general purpose secret store for everything from passwords to command snippets.

* A tool that runs commands when USB devices are inserted or removed, allowing a user to write filters against a variety of device metadata. The end goal is something similar to udev rules, but much nicer to configure and cross-platform. Still unreleased.
