tl;dr rant, and not an exaggeration: the amount of time I've spent skimming these (edit to be nicer) exhausting comment threads about password managers has taken 10x the amount of time it took to use a pass-compatible or age-based password manager.

Okay, here we go, let me be explicit: there's a Venn diagram I imagine in my head of two circles - first is "password managers that require a web ui and browser integration", second is "password managers written in a language and with an overall complexity that I'm comfortable with".

For certainly-informed users, there's ZERO overlap in 2023. what's super fun is that this comment would get entirely different scores in yah, every 2 years for the past decade+ now. (think abour Rust circa 2021, 2019, 2017, I feel confident saying... for well most, opinion has been shifting in a certain direction).

luckily recently there is a tool which is,

1. rust-written

2. pass, pass-totp, and pass-tomb compatible

3. hasn't yet broken the CLI UX in nearly every release like another prominent "safe-lang" re-write of pass. that's all I'll say because it turned into a many-paragraph rant otherwise.

I'm trying so hard to watch myself here, but it's just not that hard. Let's imagine what needs to break for me to compromise your WV account versus what you'd need to compromise my public-hosted git-repo-backed yubikey-hardended-gpg-encrypted pass accounts. "I'll post mine if you post yours?"
