Password does what it says, but the lack of a standard format makes it not easy to use and the dependency on GPG keys makes your password very un-portable. You can take them anywhere, but creating new GPG keys for each device takes time and requires two devices (one to create the new key, and then another one to re-encrypt all stored passwords).

Especially on mobile this becomes a pain quickly.

Best password managers to keep your passwords safe

Using the same password for several accounts (messaging, social networks, online services, bank accounts...) can be a dangerous practice. One solution to this problem is to use a digital safe to store passwords and other sensitive information. This makes it possible to store all passwords in a tamper-proof safe and retain only its combination, also called a master password. Password managers are legion. It's not easy to find your way around when you're looking for a safe, simple, efficient and secure solution. Between web browser managers, online services, smartphone applications, desktop software... It can be pretty difficult to find the right password manager for your needs. And with the recent exploit discovery in the LastPass password manager, you might be looking for a good and secure alternative. So, here's a list of the best password managers to keep all of your passwords safe.

What is pass?

Pass is the standard unix password manager, a lightweight password manager that uses GnuPG icon GnuPG and Git icon Git for Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X. With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
