Pass is awesome. Great intro Nick! I also use it outside the terminal with rofi.

This tuto is so nice sir

Pretty neat little tool. Only thing missing to me is a way to generate diceware passphrases. Great video.

[@NickJanetakis]

Thanks. Yep, that would be handy since [wf)~:lXqtdaDc.^+2VO]76io};7V` is a tad difficult to remember and manually type if you had to.

[@richardwayne809]

Do a 'pass init what@ever' then 'pass git init' After that use 'pass git ' as needed.

Amazing video. Thank you!

[@NickJanetakis]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@cadcaetutorial2039]

I use Nextcloud Passwords but I like this one to :)

[@ClaytonAAlves]

Is there an easy way to update all passwords to a new gpg Key?

[@NickJanetakis]

I've never done it but askubuntu.com/a/935508 hints it's possible. Let us know how it goes. I'd for sure make a backup before doing anything.

... let's just make pretend that didn't happen at all😆😆😆

Looks too complex workflow. I'd suggest KeePassXC

[@NickJanetakis]

It comes down to personal preference. I never used KeePassXC but it looks like a general purpose GUI password manager. Pass is focused on the command line experience. In my opinion these are targeting different use cases.

@@NickJanetakis i dont want to try to convince you or anyone of what tools to use, but on the point of the command line experience keepassxc comes with the keepassxc-cli which was as scriptable as pass seems. so not trying to say that keepassxc is better or anything, but it seemed to me that you weren't aware of that cli (not that it really matters though lol). however somethings that the gui keepassxc handles nicely like ssh-agent integrations didnt seem to work with the cli tool.
