The slightly more awesome standard UNIX password manager for teams.

Manage your credentials with ease. In a globally distributed team, on multiple devices or fully offline on an air gapped machine.

• Works everywhere - The same user experience on Linux, MacOS, *BSD or Windows
• Built for teams - Built from our experience working in distributed development teams
• Full autonomy - No network connectivity required, unless you want it

By default your credentials are encrypted with GPG and versioned in git. This can be customized easily. The primary interface is the command line, making it an excellent choice for CLI fans, CI/CD systems or anything you can hook it up with. Gopass can also integrate with your browser so you can largely avoid the command line - if you want.

gopass can operate without any dependencies but most users will use it with gpg and git. An external editor is required to use gopass edit.

brew install gopass

sudo port install gopass

Warning: Do not install the gopass package for the official repositories. That is a completely different project that has no relation to us.

🎮 Please select a private key for encrypting secrets:
[0] gpg - 0xFEEDBEEF - John Doe <[email protected]>

✅ Configured

By default gopass setup will use gpg encryption and git storage. This will create a new password store in $HOME/.local/share/gopass/stores/root and a configuration in $HOME/.config/gopass/config using gpg encryption and git for versioned storage. Users can override these with e.g. --crypto=age to use age encryption instead or opt out of using a versioned store with --storage=fs.

An existing store can be cloned with e.g. gopass clone [email protected]:john/passwords.git.

Create a new secret:

gopass create

List all existing secrets:

gopass ls

Copy an existing password to the clipboard:

gopass show -c foo

Remove an existing secret:

gopass rm foo
