If you're using Ubuntu or MInt, don't install -pass- from the repositories because it's outdated version 1.7.1 (released in 2017-04-13). The latest version is 1.7.3 (released in 2018-08-03). I read in Wikipedia that -In June 2018, pass was found to be vulnerable to a variant of the SigSpoof attack. The issue was patched the same day that the vulnerability was disclosed.-
Visit the official -pass- website and download the tarball. Trust me, it will be the easiest tarball you'll ever install in life. In fact, it was the shortest INSTALL file I've ever read. -sudo make install- and you're done.

followed the instructions. followed the firefox plugin steps as written on the website and it was confusing. It bricked my laptop. Fresh install of Mint 4.2 and forget about these complicated softwares. Never again. It's the frustrating downside to linux. I'm not a programmer and I cant stand the guys who just fly through this stuff in a tutorial like its no big deal. When you closed your terminal all of a sudden you lost me because there was other stuff on there with further instructions that left me confused. I was pissed and still am. Thanks but no thanks.

How can I use passmenu on a system without a desktop environment? I'm running Spectrwm and although passmenu works, no dialog/master password box appears for me to authenticate passmenu. Is there a work around for this? perhaps a modification to the passmenu script that calls an instance of xterm in floating mode to authenticate and automatically closes afterwards?
I know this is an old Vid, hopefully you still get time to read the comments. Cheers

Thanks for the video. I'm trying out pass now. One thing though: you shouldn't init the password manager with your private key. You should encrypt with the public key, private key is only for decrypting. It won't really matter if you only use pass on your one machine, but if you choose to push your password onto onto some server for syncing with other computers, you don't want to have your private key tied into your password store.

I'm a beginner in linux mint, but I found your video AMAZING!!! (best one online so far). I was not successful to get the command for if you forget your gpg master password how would you recover it. What would be the command? I tried ' gpg -d 826B0FD3C947AF26' but that did not work.

Its scary when you build your password store in QtPass on Windows using the GUI and years later you start using Linux and want to re-ecntypt your password-store with a new gpg key this time using the teminal hahaha.
Best practice is a good backup of your password-store.

When creating a password I get the error message :
gpg: DEE04C3123456789: skipped: Unusable public key
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: Unusable public key
It looks like pass does not find the local gpg key. What can be the reason for this?

Shame you didn't talk about the git functionality of pass. Makes it a breeze to sync between devices.
I mean for regular computers, manually syncing is probably fine, but git allows me to sync on my phone with an app designed for pass.

Wow. I love the keyboard wallpaper. Fantastic vid, BTW. Still does not sway me to use a computer connected to the internet to store my passwords, though. I like to use pen and paper. Is there something that can sway me, though?

say
you can use xclip, you can make an alias with xclip that copies the out put of the program to the clipboard via a pipe, or make a function that will do that but also trigger a safe delete of the clipboard.
