Pass

Introduction

'pass' is a simple, flexible command line password manager that follows the Unix philosophy of simple tools for one job. The application saves each password in an encrypted GPG file and allows organizing them in various folder hierarchies. It also uses shell tab completion.

Installation

Configuration

gpg --import /path/to/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
gpg --import /path/to/.gnupg/secring.gpg

gpg --gen-key

Check your GPG keys...

gpg --list-keys

Initialise the 'pass' Password Store...
