>I really like the browser integration, which there isn't anything comparable for pass.

people keep saying stuff like this (the one i use because x feature has no real competitor)

lastpass. i've used most password managers out there and lastpass hits all these points and more

After lastpass was bought out, I went on a spree to find a different password manager and in that process, I tried almost all of them (free & paid). Nothing came close to Lastpass so I decided to stick with them until they mess up.

If the worst comes to worst, I'll probably move to Dashlane (which is significantly more expensive & a bit more work to use - extensions won't work without a desktop app)

Why were Lastpass and Dashlane better than 1Password for you?

I've used 1P for a few years without looking at the competition, so curious to hear what they can do.

I did try 1Password, and while it was pretty good, it was never "great". By that I mean,

1. It required a desktop app to be installed to use the clients (while this is an issue with Dashlane, the 1Password windows desktop client is just weird - looks outdated, crashes etc.)

2. The 1Password Android app seemed to not have in-app password fill in (which both Dashlane & Lastpass had). While it's not too much of an inconvenience, I feel like 1Password is great if you are in the apple ecosystem.

This is not to say 1Password is "bad" by any means...I loved it's dropbox sync feature for example and it's integration with Alfred on Mac was awesome!

I've tried all of them and Dashlane is by far my favorite and only one I was able to stick to using. Worth the money IMO.

Command line interface with (or without, for that matter) X integration, and Open Source would be two features it seems to lack.

There is a lastpass cli for the past year...ish:

I think you misunderstood my comment. I meant that there isn't anything comparable to 1Password's browser integration for pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/).
