    I love the simplicity of Pass, but I wanted just a few more features, like being able to store (and retrieve) extra data easily. Unstructured data below the initial password wasn't really enough for me.

    I ended up taking huge inspiration from Pass, but writing my own implementation[1] with a few more features that increased it's usefulness for my use cases.

    I posted it a while ago on here[2] and Reddit[3], but it basically stores each entry as a Bash script, which gives it so much flexibility: auto-typing, references, multiple fields, executable functions, etc. I also wrote a blog post on it[4].

    I'd be interested to hear what people think of if if anyone did/does end up giving it a go.

    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    The Windows client seems to be no longer maintained [1], so I would like better support here for my Surface.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.
