  • gopass

    The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams

  • And its slightly more convenient cousin, https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass

  • Android-Password-Store

    Android application compatible with ZX2C4's Pass command line application

  • There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.

  • QtPass

    QtPass is a multi-platform GUI for pass, the standard unix password manager.

  • There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.

  • mobile

    The mobile app vault (iOS and Android). (by bitwarden)

  • No, this definitely isn't true. Only if you have automatic app updates turned on with the Play Store will that happen. And even then, you can also just install the FOSS app via F-Droid or GitHub, that's what I did.

  • keepassxc

    KeePassXC is a cross-platform community-driven port of the Windows application “Keepass Password Safe”.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • vaultwarden

    Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust, formerly known as bitwarden_rs

  • Yes, vaultwarden is awesome. Self-hosting ensures that it won't disappear without warning.

  • passphrase2pgp

    Generate a PGP key from a passphrase

  • So the easiest way to synchronize gpg keys I found is https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp - it generates a deterministic gpg key (also ssh keys, x509 certificates...) from a passphrase. Excellent tool

  • passforios

    Pass for iOS - an iOS client compatible with Pass command line application.

  • Been using pass for a few years now, even with some passwords requiring another gpg key using a hardware smart card (a yubikey with NFC). Works on iOS too using NFC
