Sadly this isn’t a modern solution. People have smartphones and occasionally have to login to Windows (without WSL).

While I’d love for everything I use to provide an easily accessible *nix shell it just isn’t practical for phone use or modern computing environment where you can access cloud data using web services from any internet connected computers/devices.

I have a smartphone and use pass via the app Android Password Store [1]. You have to set up your GPG key of course and also an SSH key for the sync with the remote repository, but once that’s done, it works perfectly fine.

There are other clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

FWIW, using Termux on Android enables practical phone use of many command line programs.

That's why I decided to trust a commercial password manager (in this case, 1Password). Rather than trudging some unknown third party developer on each mobile platform, I'd rather trust a more official provider on all platforms (which also gives me the increased usability and larger feature set).

Since I absolutely need a cross platform password manager, especially on mobile, I felt this to be the most logical solution.

On iOS I use this open-source client:
