    Gopass: The slightly more standard Unix password manager for teams
    story by thunderbong · 2026-05-22 · 0 comments
  3. Huh, I thought pass wasn't developed anymore for some reason. Glad to see it still is! Related: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass I haven't used pass in a long time, but I used gopass for a while in a small team and it was pretty great.

  5. …shell instead of an app that stores the secrets in an obfuscated/proprietary/inaccessible manner: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/features...
  6. Also worth looking at gopass[0], the Go re-implementation. It supports OPT out of the box. [0]: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass

  7. …pointer to a solution. I've just installed gopass. I also (in looking through other threads) found https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass and by reading the code learned how TOTP works.
  8. …provides. That code is temporary and only works for a short time frame. In my case I use Gopass ( https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass ) and it's as simple as adding a field like --- totp: thesecretstringblahblah at the end of my password…

  12. …for age encryption. It is well positioned to eventually replace gpg as the default crypto backend. https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/backends...
  13. For teams there is also gopass ( https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass ) which is compatible with pass I believe.
  14. …drop-in replacement does the job much better and has some neat collaborative features as well. [1] https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass
  15. gopass already supports age: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/backends...

  21. Or https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass if you want something passwordstore compatible but with additional team features.
  22. …compatible with pass. It has a few more features that makes it nice to use with other people. [0] https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass
  23. I use gopass ( https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/ ) which works well, but I don't share with anyone. Always wondered how I might jump that hurdle.
  24. If your target audience is developers/operators I would recommend gopass, https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass . It's a CLI tool which allows integration with scripts, ansible, terraform, kubectl, etc.
  25. There's also https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass if you want a compatible Go version.
  26. https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass Crossplatform, git versioning, gpg security (allows you to integrate with smartcards and tokens that you might already have in place for your employees). Decent UX too, works with clipboard, supports totp.

  28. I've been using a similar one: https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass . Only problem is getting non-technical people to use it is hard. And it is not super intuitive to get it working on mobile.

  29. There’s also https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass with some more features for teams while being compatible with pass.
  30. Quick note that gopass (which is 98% drop-in API compatible with pass) does this out of the box: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass/blob/master/docs/feat...
  31. Spent much of my spare time working on https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass
  32. I found your issue about this: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass/issues/462 It sounds serious, for sure, and this software deals with sensitive data, so that is important to keep in mind (though, it versions with Git, so that's a nice…

  33. This looks useful. I'd love to use this with gopass ( https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass ). It would have to support preexisting keys for that to work for me. I wonder if the limitation around elliptic curve keys originate with the…

  35. Pass is pretty awesome, but nowadays I've switched to gopass: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass - much better support for teams, structured secrets, binary secrets and quite a few other improvements. Oh, and it's (mostly) drop-in…

  36. Switched from pass to gopass recently : ( https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass ). It's open source and has a tad bit more features over pass. Some of the reasons for my choice to switch: - compatible with pass - support for multiple…

  39. …I use gopass [0] though which supports directly configuring this via cli/config file. [0]: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass
  40. Inspired from passwordstore & recently featured on HN : https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass

  41. …to see what git library gopass is using, but it looks like git is just being called directly: https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass/blob/a6f88e079be193f8... . Surely libgit2 would work well here.
  42. Did you try this? https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass#autocompletion
  43. https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass/issues/4 I just created an issue for that. Shouldn't be that hard to support it. Feel free to subscribe to the issue on github or comment any thing that's missing. Thanks!
  44. …work for me out of the box with a `go get` source install. Edit: found it on the github readme https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass#autocompletion
