What's wrong with passwordstore.org? It's not a service which I am giving my stuff, but just some handy script sitting on top of well-known distribution and security software. Plus tools and plugins for all the clients. There is no need for anything else than that.

A few things I didn't like about pass:

* It does not encrypt metadata.

* It performs delayed clipboard clearing instead of preventing further coping after first use, which is technically possible to implement, though I am not aware of any small standalone tool that does something like that.

* If you don't have something like YubiKey, password protection of gpg private key is not particularly impressive compared to the state of art.

I recently came across a `pass` competitor called `freepass` built with Rust ontop of libsodium: https://github.com/myfreeweb/freepass

`pass` is my current favourite, the Android app works fine and syncing text files is easy. But I'm looking forward to trying `freepass` out. The interface looks nice in the asciicinema animation in the README, a Quicksilver/spotlight style floating window.

BitWarden looks too heavy-duty for me.
