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 (realtime,multithreading and 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 -
  

• text starts with - or # can not be YAML, and is considered standard text.

• 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

• datetime

Changing password

Autotype types the last saved value.

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).
