  • Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
    20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Sep 2023
    I created `prs` which solves a lot of painpoints I had with pass and other clients.

    It is compatible with pass and uses the very same store.

    Thanks for mentioning prs [1], dev here! :)

    Yes it definitely meets those requirements, being written in Rust, supporting pass, TOTP, Tombs amongst other things.

    Though its CLI is a bit different than classic pass. That is on purpose in fact, to achieve a better UX and less ambiguous commands.

    I've developed `prs` as `pass` alternative with many annoyances fixed for daily use. It provides automatic syncing between multiple devices through git, supports multiple keys and many other things. It simply uses your existing `pass` store.

    Free and open-source, keep control in your own hands, forever. Encryption with gpg, sync with git. Compatible with pass, which means better support and easy migration.

  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Apr 2021
    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    The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface.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.
