pass[0] has been the best of everything so far. gpg based and easy to use with keyboard shortcuts. i like alternatives like htis, but pass is super barebones and highly available. [0]: https://www.passwordstore.org/ https://www.passwordstore.org/

I use this, and it has been nothing but great. I switched from 1Password when all the subscription nonsense started, and while 1Password has (much) better integration in various systems (desktops and mobile), Pass does what it says, and it does it well. I (briefly) evaluated Bitwarden, but the lack of support for storing 2FA tokens without a subscription threw me off. I'm aware of bitwarden_rs, which presumably supports 2FA tokens, but i've not yet had time to experiment with it. Besides, hosting a git repository is not exactly rocket science, and it's a much simpler setup compared to Bitwarden with database and server parts that needs to be running.

It is not an understatement to say that pass saved password management for me. That tool is a lifesaver!

Pass has got to be one of my favorite CLI tools and is descent third-party browser plugins and mobile apps. Gopass works well too, especially for Windows and is compatible. I wish someone would build a bookmark manager using a similar concept.

Although I always appreciate alternatives being given on HN, I don't see how this competes with Passbolt. There's no password sharing between groups of an organization, which is exactly what Passbuilt is built for. Personal password managers are great unless you want to share a list of passwords in a group within an organization.

  You can use pass to share passwords between multiple people in an organization. Pass supports multiple GPG keys per entry, and you can assign sets of keys to directories. You could have a directory per team, for instance.
