Hi all, I'm a new user to pass. I've set up pass successfully on my laptop, synced it with a remote git repository on github.com, and, using the password manager app by zeapo for Android, I've got capability to push and pull onto my phone. Now I'd like to be able to access the repository from

You can clone (plus push and pull) to a remote repository using https as the transport instead of using ssh. It seems to me that hosting on git cloud server may be a brave choice? I'd be interested to know what other people think. (I keep my password db in a veracrypt hidden drive and then

Hi, Mi personal setup is a bit different. I am using a yubikey to store my private gpg key and have published the public one. I am also using the gpg-agent as an ssh-daemon, so that it uses the yubikey's gpg key. Thus, none of my keys are written to disk nor has to be sync'd. My password store

OK, You asked for it :-). I am using macOS so I can use POSIX file link semantics. I think Windows has something similar 1) Download and install Vercraypt. On my Mac using Homebrew Cask that is easy brew `cask install veracrypt` 2) Set up Dropbox sync folder (same idea also applies if you

Hello All, I have similar situation to Ethan in that I am using github.com for my password files as well. I'm not comfortable with this, but it is what I could get to work. I like what Alex is using (i.e. veracrypt hidden drive and then store that on Dropbox), but I don't know how to set that up

The way I've set it up, all of my passwords are random except for three: my GitHub password, my SSH passphrase, and my GPG passphrase. So when I set up a new machine, I clone my SSH keys from GitHub using HTTPS; then I can clone any of my other repositories using SSH, including my GPG keyring and

Thanks all for the discussion. I do realize the privacy issue, storing the password names in a public repository, but as with Mark above, that's all I could figure out in the beginning. Thanks for letting me know Alec that Gitlab and BitBucket have free private repos -- I'll migrate this week.
