There is also "passage": https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage

It's pass with age-encryption instead of pgp.

The use of age doesn't seem to address any of the stuff in the linked article. At least the use of age would not make things worse in this particular application because pass does not authenticate the saved password files. Age famously can't do authorization for the asymmetrical encryption case.
