The only issue i found myself having using stuff like this is syncing to my mobile phone. Currently i am very satisfied with bitwarden due to their firefox extension and mobile ios app which integrates with the ios keychain. Pass sadly isnt usable for me.

You can use the integrated git feature to sync passwords between all sorts of devices. The nice thing is, that there are pass clients for almost every system including iOS, Android and Windows and with git you simply pull changes in. And by using your own server, you don't have to rely on the security of others to keep your secrets safe.

I am using pass on my Android phone all the time (e.g. to log in to ycombibator right now). I use OpenKeychain (from f-droid) to access my yubikey + Password Store (also in f-droid) for git clone (readonly ssh key) and password filling. It integrates with any input field on the whole system and my phone can't decrypt any passwords alone and it uses standard encryption methods.

  I think the GP is aware of that, and just decided it's too much of a hassle. I used pass for few years, and have recently switched to bitwarden. I know my way around git well, but I just never remembered to push the new passwords from either my desktop or my phone, which sometimes made me reset the password on one of the devices, and getting conflicts later on, I was always forgetting the password to the SSH key on my phone, and was ever-worried that I don't understand shit about GPG. Two years ago I switched my laptops, and moving the password store to the new one was painful. I'm sure I did something wrong, and that someone who knows what they're doing would have no trouble doing that, but I guess it's not for me. Also, a minor pain point is that generating a new password for an existing login overwrites the whole file, and not only the first line, so I had to copy the other login data from the old file to the new one. I'm sure there's a way around that, but I never bothered.

    You can use "-i" for in-place password generation, which will just replace the first line.

Pass syncs on my iPhone using the pass iOS app.

  Which is adding support for Yubikeys soon.

    You can use `pass` with Yubikeys, I had this set up for many years

      The iOS app doesn’t support it yet (the version on the AppStore ie, TestFlight version has had it for a few months - only GPG, not SSH).

I have done syncing with pass between multiple clients (and android) using syncthing or git. Either option has worked fine. For some reason I prefer syncthing. The android client works perfectly well.

I use pass on my PinePhone, and sync using git.

I switched from pass to KeePassXC/Keepass2Android (with my .kdbx file living in OneDrive). It’s a much more convenient experience on all platforms. Transparent sync via OneDrive, simple self-contained files and apps, no git and no PGP to mess around with, convenient browser integrations, support for auto-type including working with the the idiotic partial-password thing one of my banks does. pass might be fine if you’re only working with Linux/macOS boxes (although I’d still consider it easy to mess up). If you’re also using Windows, then pass is much less convenient. On Android, the setup with Android-Password-Store and OpenKeychain was pretty fragile and annoying last time I used it.
