gopass at a glance

Checked 15 Oct 2026

gopass (v1.17.4, Oct 2026) is a Go command-line password manager compatible with pass. Secrets are encrypted with GPG (or age) and versioned in git, so a team can share a store by sharing a git repo and adding recipients. Works offline and on Linux, macOS, BSD and Windows. MIT licence. It is a CLI first: browser autofill needs a separate bridge and there is no official mobile app or GUI. Suited to developers, CI/CD and ops teams, not family use.
