I've been using pass since mitro.co announced their shutdown.

The only (somewhat big) downside to this, and related unix pw managers is the sheer lack of browser compatibility - mobile would also be nice, as that's one of the places where it's a PITA to use and enter long passphrases.

pass claims to have both, but doesn't:

https://github.com/jvenant/passff#readme does not work.

The iOS app has disappeared from github: https://github.com/rephorm/pass-ios#readme

It's solvable problems, I just find it a somewhat important part of a password manager.

I'm running a small agency with two friends and we're keeping mitro alive (and better: are fixing issues) here: https://passopolis.com/

Firefox and Chrome extensions are working, and I'm currently spending a few hours a week on migrating to the new Firefox-extension protocol.

I suppose it just depends what you look for in a password manager. I tried lots of solutions from Last Pass, KeepassX to pass but i prefer the scriptability and portability of a command line based password manager and i'm not overly bothered about mobile and browser.

You're right, and don't take this as a challenge, I'm honestly wondering:

How come you aren't bothered? I ask because I can't image apart from:

a. I use short or cryptically unsafe passphrases,

b. I use passphrases and type them easily,

c. I only need to log in a few times.

Am I forgetting others?

For non-mobile use-cases the passmenu script distributed with pass comes in handy:

http://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/contrib/dmenu/passm...

It types the selected password via xdotool.
