Password Store is all I need

Table of contents

Previously I'm already try and using KeePass and Bitwarden as password manager, they are great but they have a downside in my opinion:

  1. KeePass
    • It's hard to find reliable third-party app to support KeePass for different platform.
    • The setup was too complicated especially if you want to sync, in my case I choosing webdav to sync db file.
  2. Bitwarden
    • The official android app way too heavy in my potato devices who have only 2GB of ram.
    • No TOTP support for free account.

Fortunately I found somewhere while searching for KeePass browser extension that Password Store exists, in the page the developer abandon KeePass and start using Password Store because it's follow UNIX philosophy.

What is Password Store

It is simple password manager that using tools that already available, each password are encrypted using gpg and live in ~/.password-store, we can sync using git. For more information go to pass: The standard unix password manager and try it.
