passage VS kbs2

Compare passage vs kbs2 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)

  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager

    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

    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.
