I'm quite stumped why there aren't more good password tools. Pass, vim-gnupg, and SublimeGPG are all I've found. The application managers are atrocious -- not only the UIs but data format interoperability as well. Browser managers are insane.

On another note, the pass documentation recommends a filesystem layout that doesn't remember usernames. I used this scheme before going back to vim:

  www-website-com/id/username
  www-website-com/id/password
  www-website-com/id/other_field

I generally organize stuff like I did in 1Password. So I have stuff like this:

    /logins/<domain>/<username>
    /servers/<hostname>/<username>
    /databases/<type>/<host>/<username>
Then I can do stuff like

    pass /logins/<domain>/<username> | pbcopy
and the password gets copied to my clipboard.
