It feels nice and clean, but also like it is leaking the list of sites I use.
Leaking to where?
To anything with read access to your chosen storage filesystem.
Pass: The standard Unix password manager

Re: Pass: The standard Unix password manager
#22I 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?
it couldnt be easier to keep up to date across devices:
pass git push
pass git pull
there are also at least two browser addons both of which work very well for filling fields

#23Tangential question: why doesnt keepass or keepassx autosave?
Why does it even have the antiquated save button to begin with?
I have permanently lost access to some things due to this, as other password managers don’t have retro features like that. Usually when I’m using unix or linux, its on an OSX keyboard so even my reflexive shortcut key saving has buttons flipped.

#24I used to use this, and then I moved to a real password manager. Like seriously, this doesn’t hold a candle to an actual well-engineered password manager. I use Keepass right now, with MacPass and Keepassium; both excellent apps.
What does Keepass do that pass doesn't?

I think this is outside of the threat model of most password managers -- your desktop search history (whether in your shell, Spotlight, or whatever) is leaking equivalent and probably more detailed information.

#26here's why this is a bad idea: - 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…
> - i use these passwords on my home computer (windows), work computer (osx), android, ios
All of these have support for GPG, yes? So pass will work fine with them. It's just a wrapper around GPG.

Open options, enable autosave, enjoy.

#29>The password store does not impose any particular schema or type of organization of your data, as it is simply a flat text file, which can contain arbitrary data.
That whole section, the options (or lack thereof) is a mess...

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
How do you get your passwords out of the repo on your phone?
git push. The Android app works with git repos from SSH. I also use Wireguard since I run my SSH server behind the VPN, but this is obviously optional since you can just expose your SSH server to the internet.
Sorry, I meant more on the UI side. Like if I'm on a website that needs a login, do I run a pass command in a local terminal, then copy and paste?
