Simplicity
Pass is a simple password manager that leverages GPG for encryption, keeping its design minimal and easy to understand.
Security
By using GPG for encryption, pass ensures that passwords are stored securely. It does not rely on third-party servers, reducing exposure to external attacks.
Integration
Pass works well with numerous command-line tools and has various community-contributed extensions, allowing it to fit into existing workflows seamlessly.
Portability
Since pass stores passwords in plain text files encrypted with GPG, users can easily sync them across different platforms using version control systems like Git.
Open Source
Being open source, pass allows users to review its code, ensuring transparency and enabling community-driven improvements and auditing.
Not sure of your technical chops... But I use passwordstore.org between all my devices (iOS/MacOS/Linux) that is PGP backed, and I sync them via a bare git repo I host. Does TOTP, text, password generation, etc... Source: about 2 years ago

My password manager is secured using GPG. It's encrypted with two keys, one of which lives on my Yubikey (to access my passwords on my phone) and the other of which is on my desktop (as a backup). Presumably, the only way I'd get locked out is if my Yubikey is lost/stolen/broken and my desktop stops working and my local backups aren't working. In other words, not very likely at all.

Agreed that it's not as secure, however there's still some scenarios it protects against https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/150448/is-it-secure-to-store-a-two-factor-authentication-seed-in-a-password-manager. The alternative would be that I would have lost access to all of my accounts with TOTP enabled on them. I use passwordstore as a password manager with an OpenPGP smartcard to decrypt. The PGP key...

Although my setup is a little different, it amounts to the same result. My passwords are protected via public key cryptography and I use the smartcard function of the yubikey to decrypt the passwords I need (passwordstore.org). This entails typing a short pin and touching the yubikey. Source: over 3 years ago
Ensure you have pass (from passwordstore.org) configured or gnome-keyring or the KDE equivalent running. The Bridge uses those services to store the ProtonMail Bridge credentials securely. Source: over 3 years ago
I personally use pass, but I know BitWarden is fairly popular around here. I'd say whatever you use, make sure it is open source and that you can secure it with 2FA (2-factor authentication), especially if your database will be stored in the cloud. Source: over 3 years ago
Also you should use a good password manager. I reccomend pass https://passwordstore.org. Source: over 3 years ago
Hello. I've tried almost* everything to get gpg up and running but it just, won't work! So, storytime. Almost after I went full linux I stumbled upon pass, a great tool to manage passwords in a convenient way. I've been using it for around 8-9 months. And it's worked like a charm, until about 3 weeks ago. I don't know if this was a system upgrade or something but point is, it just slowed way down. When requesting... Source: over 3 years ago

Proton Technologies already have enough on-going projects (ProtonMail, ProtonVPN, ProtonDrive, ProtonCalendar). Adding yet another one is probably not the right timing for it, as there are lots of people waiting for the new v4 architecture to be released on all device platforms. And especially when there are already reasonable open source alternatives out there, like Bitwarden, KeePass (with all the variations... Source: almost 4 years ago

For secrets I use passwordstore.org. Which is just pass command line utility. It stores it's secrets in GPG encrypted files that are checked into it's own git repo. Source: about 4 years ago
Quite good, I use it all the time. My primary GPG keys are on my Yubikey and I use it to sign emails and encrypt my password store (along with a backup GPG key, ofc). Source: about 4 years ago
I store them in my password manager. I also backup my Aegis database to my laptop, so I always have at least 2 different devices from which I can obtain codes. Source: about 4 years ago
