Password Store

The Password Store is software that supports backend storage for sensitive data and metadata of the private key. Keys are stored inside GPG-encrypted files within app-specific directories. Pass is available for the most popular UNIX operating systems as well as GNU/Linux distributions. Please refer to its manual page for information on how to download and install it.

The password store must be set up prior to first use:

pass init <GPG_KEY_ID>

Replace <GPG_KEY_ID> with your GPG key ID.

You can use your personal GPG key or an alternative one you may want to use specifically to encrypt the password store.
