This post seems to have saved me the trouble of Googling myself. I am installing on the Mac and iOS as we speak.
Speaking from recent experience migrating non technical users to 1Password, while something like pass might work well for me/the typical HN user, there's no way I'd try to get family to use it. I have found the overall 1Password user experience to be very friendly and reliable, but am still semi regularly having to help family figure out/re-explain something about how it works. They'd be lost with something like pass.
My parents don't speak English. Not everyone does.
That's what you're paying 1Password for.
The situation is particularly painful for security critical software like password managers and disk encryption. Commercial software could be keeping a rot-13 copy of the database on an anonymous ftp server for all I know (or, worse, be written for a leaky JavaScript sandbox).
The open source stuff generally stalls out after the first 90% of the functionality is there, and the second 90% of the work remains.
Encryptr uses their no-knowledge cloud. It's pretty cool and their processes are openly documented.
Search for qr on the python package index using pip. There's a module that you can pipe text to and then it'll render a qr code in your terminal using Unicode glyphs. Worked well last I tried. Don't remember what the module was called but you'll be able to find it I som sure.
