Entirely offline, and command line friendly.

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.

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.
