“pass” in this context refers to a GPG-encrypted file based password manager: https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_(software) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass.

“pass” itself can be used in many contexts, but is primarily a desktop command-line tool. “Password Store” is the Android client for it.

Shameless plug: A few months ago I wrote a blog post [1] about integrating PasswordStore + GnuPG + TouchID on MacBook, and used that to automate my work VPN (Cisco AnyConnect) auto-connection [2], hence avoiding the need to interact with a very bad UI that is AnyConnect.

Hopefully others find it useful.

This seems to happen more and more often, or at least it feels that way to me. FLOSS projects that aren't highly critical but very useful are maintained by only one person which loses interest, burns out or simply has other priorities. Sometimes they don't even make an announcement like here and just ghost the project. Very sad, even though understandable.

In the past two days, the official Syncthing Android client has been discontinued, making the use of KeePass harder. Bitwarden has been trying to move away from a fully FOSS system. And now this?
