Very pleasant and refreshing to see some activity on the OSS front here. I believe Mozilla would have the resources to bring this to a success. Although naivety aside - I think it'll take years to only slightly catch up with the comfort and usability 1Password already provides. While it's not OSS it is still the benchmark to beat in terms of usability and integration.

Good luck Mozilla!

Pass[0] is pretty great. GPG encrypted and synced with Git. There is a great cross browser extension called browserpass[1]. I have mine tied to my yubikey, so it needs a physical device to decrypted my passwords.

Thanks, I've already considered switching to Pass once but don't remember what stopped me. May reconsider it again when I have time during my holidays.

Doesn't saving each password to it's own individual file make it more breakable than saving everything together in one file? I presume they're all using the same secret at some level. There's no FAQ on their site.

Bitwarden is open source and IMO a very good alternative to LastPass and 1password.

The client did not convince me compared to 1Password. And then you either use their cloud or need to host a .net container yourself - which was a no go for me. Then I can also stay with 1PW. But a matter of taste of course in the end...

You might find https://github.com/jcs/bitwarden-ruby an interesting hosting alternative, FWIW.

Fwiw, because of bitwarden's openness, there's also:

There is the ruby version, that others mentioned and there is also the go implementation: https://github.com/VictorNine/bitwarden-go
