pass simple

Multi-platform GUI for pass, the standard unix password manager

The advantages of pass simple include the use of GPGME (native C++, seamless integration with Security cards) or rnp (modern and native C++ windows support), as well as support for YAML and Markdown.

Rnp & Security card integration

• create a script that accept keyId as parameter.

  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/local/bin/gpg -d /outside/your/password-store/$1.gpg
  

• chmod +x script name

• Encrypt the /outside/your/password-store/$1.gpg where $1 as your keyId.
  with a content of your password.

• Set Rnp pass std exec path in settings, to your script.

Markdown

• Markdown is CommonMark plus the GitHub extensions for tables and task lists (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-text.html).

• Inline Images are not supported

• Links with relative path to other .pgp in the same password store are supported,

  link should not include the .pgp extension, for example

  # Header
  
  [ref to a/b file.pgp](<a/b file>)
  
  or <a/b file>
  

Yaml

• Since pass simple store totp in yaml, to read generated totp use

  gopass show fileName|yq '.["totp"]' | oathtool -b --totp -
  

• Files containing YAML comments (#) or multi-document separators (---) are not supported and will be considered plain text documents.

• For YAML compatability with password in first line tools, it is possible to put a dummy null field.

  _: ~
  user: user1
  password: 12345
  

Fields type

• textedit - supports
  • autotype of selected text
  • MarkDown read only view
• texteditMasked
• text
• url
• password
• totp
• datetime

url field

The url field supports external HTTP links, internal secret documents, or uploaded binary files. Binary files uploaded to the _files folder and can be renamed or deleted using the right‑click menu on the download icon. For a file to be treated as binary, its extension must be listed as such in the application settings.

Changing password

Autotype types the last saved value.

After duplicate current filed with an “OLD_” prefix (“OLD_password”) in edit field type, remember to save.

R.click tree view

(Not git aware)

• Add folder.

• Delete selected.

• Rename selected.

• Move selected using drag and drop.

  move available only within the same .gpg authorization folder.

Case insensitive search

• Default search is case-sensitive (using std::find). To make it case-insensitive, add an additional .* to the regex.

For example: .*WhatEver.*.* (beware of the std::regex bug in Linux gcc 14).
