passage

  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Apr 2021
    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

  • How to Handle Secrets on the Command Line
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2021
    The difficulties mentioned in the article with passing secrets on the command line is one of the reasons why we wrote encpass.sh (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh). We had a similar need for a lightweight solution for managing secrets for simple shell scripts on our local workstations and in restricted environments. Bonus, it can be easily customized with extension scripts to adapt functions for your own specific needs. See our keybase extension for an example -> https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...
  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Apr 2021
    We made an extension for encpass.sh that stores secrets in Keybase (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...) if that sort of thing is of interest to you. Outside of personal secrets, it can be used as a sort of low cost stand in for shared secrets that you might use something like Vault for in a team environment.
