If not, now would be the time to read the man page :P Should you use git, just revert the commit.

Re: my dumb mistake
if you're using git there should* be a commit added for each change. type 'pass git log' to verify if there are two entries for 'foo' (i.e. "Edit password for foo using vim."), and if that's the case, undo the latest commit with 'pass git revert HEAD~1'. lg * famous last words On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 03:26:52PM -0500, Joshua N Pritikin wrote: To create a new password entry for "foo," I typed "pass edit foo" in one terminal window.
