I switched from OSX to Linux a few months ago and had to find an alternative for 1Password. Pass has been great, I love its simplicity.

Not having a browser add-on to retrieve passwords was feeling like a step back in terms of convenience though. That's why I built & open sourced browserpass [1], a browser extension for Pass.

It uses Native Host Messaging to securely retrieve passwords, so no crazy port listening as some other open-sourced add-ons do (which is a terribly bad idea).
