Pass is primarily a command line tool (there are some GUIs available as well, but all are third-party tools), best thought of as a nice wrapper around GnuPG. Pass stores each site or note as a single file that's then encrypted and decrypted using a GPG key. The pass community has created clients for Firefox and Android, which are the other two places I need to access my passwords. It's not for everyone, but if you're comfortable with the command line and want to keep things simple, pass fits the bill. +The last possible LastPass replacement that I'll mention is the <a href="https://luxagraf.net/src/pass">password manager I opted for</a>: <a href="http://www.passwordstore.org/">pass</a>.

In a perfect world the LastPass acquisition wouldn't change anything -- the service would just continue as it always has. However, experience shows that it often doesn't work out that way. If you prefer not to wait around and find out, there are, fortunately, plenty of alternatives. The good news is that LastPass hasn't changed anything just yet so you have time to try out the rest and see which one you prefer. I suggest starting out with KeePass or, if you want to stick with something cloud-based and closer to LastPass itself, Dashlane. |
