IMO Filenames being readable is not really a downside. How else would you recognize which passwords you need? In any other password manager you have a reference, when using pass you simple have a directory of encrypted files with a simple interface for access. I store them under lock and passphrase, a 4096bit rsa or ed25519 key, which is on an encrypted hard drive, and only accessible by a password protected user or root.
It's Unix Philosophy at it's purest, and the reason why I use it for my password management.
- urld 9y agoIt depends on how you use it. As long as the identifiers are not visible to anyone else (like you described), its okay. But if you sync your secrets across devices, using services that are not under your control, or your device gets stolen, more information than necessary got leaked.
- jwilk 9y agoYou should store all the passwords in one file.
