gopass is a password manager for the command line written in Go. It supports all major operating systems (Linux, MacOS, BSD) as well as Windows.
For detailed usage and installation instructions please check out our documentation.
Gopass is a versatile command line based password manager that is being developed with the following principles in mind:
- Easy: For technical users (i.e. those who are used to the command line) it should be easy to get started with gopass.
- Secure: Security is hard. We aim to make it as easy as possible while still providing a good level of protection against common adversaries. Caution: If your personal threat level is very high, we might not offer a good tool for you.
- Extensible: While Gopass includes a fair amount of useful features, we can't cover every use-case. To support more special use cases we want to provide a clean and simple API to integration gopass into your own binaries.
Please see docs/features.md for an extensive list of all features along with several usage examples. Some examples are available in our example password store.
