I’ve been a happy user of Pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) for a few years now. Can’t see it being monetized any time soon, which is a Good Thing. So is its strict adherence to the Unix philosophy.

I really wanted to try switching to pass, but I use my password manager on my phone too much, and I dual-boot on my desktop besides. WSL solves the desktop issue, but I'm not sure what the best option is for syncing Linux, Windows, and an Android phone. Heck, I don't even know how `pass` stores the db so I don't know if it can be synced.

Got any insight there?

There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git. (Their default location is ~/.password-store.)

For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

The only Windows client listed at https://www.passwordstore.org/#other is unmaintained.
