Sounds like your organization into nested directories is detrimental rather than helpful. I keep it simple: I have just two top-level directories, "job" and "private", and the filenames inside are the domain names for the places the password is for. If I need more accounts on a domain, I let the domain be a directory with one file per account. (I also add symlinks manually when there is a less than obvious connection between the login screen domain and the service name. I would definitely like to see an extension to make it easier to create these - having to "cd ~/.password-store; ln -s foo bar; git add bar; git commit" is a bit inconvenient.) -- Kjetil T.
