Similarly, I wrote "hunter2" [0] to manage my passwords, for places where I'm still forced to use passwords. Although I didn't know of "pass" when I wrote it, it accomplishes the same goals. One difference is that it doesn't rely on PGP keys but just uses bare RSA keys from a smartcard. This is because the vast majority of authentication systems I work with use an X.509 certificate with an RSA key pair, hardly anything uses a password any more (since doing so requires a lot of paperwork).

Symmetric encryption with an actually comprehensible CLI; thank you!

I also wrote my own age compatible pass clone a year ago but yours is much better. You've gotten a new user.
