passage VS prs

Compare passage vs prs 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)

prs

🔐 A secure, fast & convenient password manager CLI using GPG and git to sync. (by timvisee)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Pass: The standard Unix password manager

    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.

    I've added Wayland (clipboard) support to prs recently. It's a pass compatible client like gopass.

    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.
