#2How does this compare to other popular solutions? Specifically, KeepassX / Keepass2 which are the most common solutions I've seen most Unix / Linux users employ. Can we objectively state which one is a better solution?

#3I've been using this for a while and am very happy. Especially the ability to use a private git repository for synchronization of laptop and desktop makes this convenient.

Pass encrypted passwords are kept in your computer, which I find safer than web based solutions. Optionally you can use git to share passwords between computers but you still need the gpg2 keys from the original repo.

Huh? Keepass is just an encrypted XML file. No GPG or remote storage required.

#8Pass is pretty awesome, but nowadays I've switched to gopass: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass - much better support for teams, structured secrets, binary secrets and quite a few other improvements. Oh, and it's (mostly) drop-in compatible.

#10I've been using pass for a long time now. I have over 200 passwords stored.
I like it because you can use it to store sensitive info along with metadata, not just single field passwords. It's also super easy to access the info on the command line with ways to auto-copy passwords to your clipboard (which expires after 45 seconds).
I did a write up on it a while back at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/managing-your-passwords-on-th....
