I use `pass` with git versioning. Encrypted with GPG. Does the same, doesn't it? Not that fancy but it works well.

Ultimately, all password managers are just data storage with encryption and convenience layered on top.

However, I think the main advantage many password managers bring is cross-platform compatibility, specifically all of:

- Windows

- Mac

- Linux

- Android

- iOS

This can be a killer feature (or a blocker) for adoption, and would fall under "convenience" above.

I use pass on windows, mac, linux and android
