passage VS age

Compare passage vs age and see what are their differences.

passage

An independent reimplementation of password-store, using `age` rather than PGP. NOTE: This isn't the passage project based on password-store. Use that; I don't really maintain this right now. https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage (by somasis)

age

A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability. (by FiloSottile)

    I’ve been using Pass for years, and love it.

    Question for HN... is there a project that anyone knows of, that is using Age instead of GPG as the encryption for Pass? I’ve seen a few implementations of it, but nothing I’d use for a daily driver yet.

    Example, not my project - https://github.com/somasis/passage
