What benefits do I get if I use Passage instead of Pass?
I get that it uses only one algorithm and does one thing. But that’s not a benefit impacting the end user in practice. Actually, my Pass also uses CV25519. It’s just, one is written in Go, one in C/bash.
Looking at the list of CVEs for SSH, OpenVPN, OpenSSL and GPG, the latter has stood up pretty well. Plus, OpenPGP is a standard heavily audited which is important for interoperability (and arguably security).
