Sorry, I meant more on the UI side. Like if I'm on a website that needs a login, do I run a pass command in a local terminal, then copy and paste?

Ah, there is an Android app [1] which you sync the passwords to and it basically presents a list of all your websites. To use a password: tap on the website name, unlock your GPG key, and then see your password and put it in your phone's copy/paste buffer.

Sounds a lot less convenient than e.g. Samsung Pass. Depends what you value I guess.
On my phone the Android app also asks to fill login forms in Firefox.
Thank you. I wish OP could have linked what Android app he was using
a bunch of apps busted (tiktok) that polled the iphone’s clipboard, isn’t android also susceptible to that ?
That's what they meant with "The Android app works with git repos from SSH".

That is: there are GUI mobile and desktop client apps, compatible with the pass storage schemes.

In this case, the parent refers to one such app that can connect to e.g. your GitHub repo with your passes, and read/manage the passwords from there.

This is correct. Pass can only copy it in the paste buffer for 45s.

The command has a nice auto completion and search feature. And calling it without arguing give you a list of all the name of the key you have in a tree view.

I really enjoy using that little utility since I would say 4 or 5 years.
