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
