I imagine it might be obvious for most users and potential users of pass, and being in line with the unix philosophy, it might be by design, but still, since I didn't see it mentioned in the documentation, it's worth mentioning:
By itself, Passwordstore will not encrypt file names or directory names (which by convention represent the names of the service/site you have an account with).
That might not pose a problem if no one else has access to the machine that hosts your git repo, but if that's not the case (even if it's a private repo on whatever platform), you might want to use either Tomb or git-crypt-remote to have full end-to-end encryption. There are even some tools that glue tomb and pass together (https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb for one), though I'm not sure what's the situation is like when it comes to mobile integration with tomb/git-crypt-remote.
- aborsy 4y agoYou may not need to encrypt file names. Those are website address and perhaps with usernames, and public information. It’s like suggesting to encrypt public keys.
- almog 4y ago> It’s like suggesting to encrypt public keys. Wouldn't that same argument suggest that that encrypted DNS queries should not be something one would want to use? My point is - it's nothing like that, I'm sure that most people could think of at least one website at some point in their life where they'd want to keep the knowledge of them having an account with that website private.
