I have been using pass for months now and love it. I use a private git repo to synchronize my passwords to multiple computers of mine (Chromebook and two Macs) plus my iPhone without any major issues and it is completely free.

I was wondering if anyone has more details about setting up and using a hardware key like the Yubikey in conjunction with Pass works?

Find a guide on using Yubikey with gpg (such as this one [0]) and if you configure it it will work seamlessly.

Enabling touch-to-decrypt [1] can also reduce risk of decrypting stuff without you noticing.

Which one do you use on a Chromebook (I assume on ChromeOS)? Because I've seen only extensions that require installing regular pass so probably on a Linux machine.
