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). So if your git repo is n…

How do you get your passwords out of the repo on your phone?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Leaking to where?
compared to other password managers which is just an encrypted database. pass uses normal folders to store your website/username information so in that way it is less protected.
But the exposure is to anyone with access to your encrypted pass data. Which in the normal use case is going to be anyone with access to your user account, which means they could likely already see your shell and browser history.
I love the idea of Pass, but from what I've seen of the UX (not talking looks) it doesn't really compare to the ease of use of products like 1Password (which I suspect was the catalyst for this being reposted). Does anyone have any contrary experiences when shared across iOS, Linux, and macOS devices + browsers?
I've used pass for a while, but I switch to bitwarden, since it has official apps for all platforms. Also with bitwarde I only have to trust them, with pass I have to trust all the different app developers.

How do you get your passwords out of the repo on your phone?
- i generate random passwords for myself (yay)
- i share these random passwords with my team (ugh... git i guess huh!)
- i share some of these random passwords with my family (you try teaching a 6 year old git, and a 37 year old woman who already doesn't want to change her habits)
- i use these passwords on my home computer (windows), work computer (osx), android, ios
Yeah, not going to switch away from 1password any time soon.
