`pass` is a simple, flexible command line password manager that follows the Unix philosophy. The application saves each password in an encrypted GPG file and allows organizing them in various folder hierarchies. Since `pass` works with encrypted text files, it can be used in conjunction with other utilities. In fact, the community has created a multitude of apps that enhance `pass`, such as a cross-platform GUI client, a Firefox extension, a Windows client, Android and iOS apps, an interactive console UI and more.
