Using Pass for linux

Pass is an awesome utility to store your passwords. For example you can store ssh passwords to use on terminal.

Installing pass

$ sudo pacman -S pass

Pass works on gpg keys so you need to first generate pass key
$ gpg --gen-key

Follow instructions

You can skip the passphrase (it is less secure)
Initialize pass, use the gpg id you just generated
$ pass init "XXXXXXXXX000EB03000003ABC00000XXXXXXXXXX"

Store new password to pass
$ pass insert server1/root

Show saved password
$ pass server1/root

You can copy the password to clipboard to use later
$ pass -c server1/root
