pass (password-store) is a simple password manager that stores passwords in GPG-encrypted files organized in a directory hierarchy. Each password is stored in a separate file, encrypted with one or more GPG keys.
The password store is a directory tree at ~/.password-store, with each file containing a single password and optionally additional data. Git integration enables version control and synchronization.
pass provides a simple, Unix-philosophy approach to password management, using existing tools (GPG, git, tree) rather than custom databases.

init gpg-id

Initialize password store.

List passwords.

Decrypt and show password.

Insert new password.

Edit password with editor.

Generate new password.

Remove password.

Move/rename password.

Copy password.

Search decrypted files.

Execute git command.

Copy to clipboard instead of displaying.

Generate password without symbols.

Requires GPG key for encryption. Filenames (password paths) are not encrypted. Clipboard contents may be logged. Git history retains old passwords unless history is rewritten.

pass was created by Jason Donenfeld (zx2c4) in 2012 as a minimalist password manager following Unix philosophy. It gained popularity for its simplicity and use of standard tools. The project spawned many compatible clients and extensions for browsers and mobile devices.
