Oh, how much I enjoy those infinite discussions about password management software, looking from my pass¹ side. I cannot imagine migrating from pass anywhere, I have almost a thousand of entries there (my and my family’s plus some friends). The funniest part those discussion well never cease to appear. And they are so much alike, again and again!

To anyone wondering whether I would recommend pass for family and non-techy friends. No, I wouldn’t. I just recommend them to use whatever is built into their smartphones (usually Apple’s or Google’s). Those integrated tools are plenty for their 15 entries. And I may back up the crucial ones to my pass vault, just in case of a smartphone loss or anything that may never happen, just to keep my peace of mind. That works for me and my close ones quite well.
