Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass, each
|
|
password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the
|
|
website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be
|
|
organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer,
|
|
and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management
|
|
utilities.
|
|
|
|
pass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy. All
|
|
passwords live in ~/.password-store, and pass provides some nice commands for
|
|
adding, editing, generating, and retrieving passwords. It is a very short and
|
|
simple shell script. It's capable of temporarily putting passwords on your
|
|
clipboard and tracking password changes using git.
|
|
|
|
You can edit the password store using ordinary Unix shell commands alongside the
|
|
pass command. There are no funky file formats or new paradigms to learn. There
|
|
is bash completion so that you can simply hit tab to fill in names.
