I imagine it might be obvious for most users and potential users of pass, and being in line with the unix philosophy, it might be by design, but still, since I didn't see it mentioned in the documentation, it's worth mentioning: By itself, Passwordstore will not encrypt file names or directory names (which by convention represent the names of the service/site you have an account with). That might not pose a problem if no one else has access to the machine that hosts your git repo, but if that's not the case (even if it's a private repo on whatever platform), you might want to use either Tomb or git-crypt-remote to have full end-to-end encryption. There are even some tools that glue tomb and pass together (https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb for one), though I'm not sure what's the situation is like when it comes to mobile integration wi

I remember reading somewhere that Pass could be used with libsodium (or age), but I cannot find the source now, sorry. One difference I see between this and pass is that spicypass is storing all the credentials in a single file. If you don't want to leak metadata with pass you have to add pass-tomb[1]. Anyway I just use pass (gopass actually) and I have no problems, it's a great improvement over a text editor. [1] https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-tomb
