"Use a VPS that uses SSH with key-based authentication, store the git tree of your passwords there."

Exactly what I told my Phillipino mother in law to protect her AOL account. I can't imagine why she doesn't do it.

That's a strawman. I'm neither your Phillipino mother nor ever suggested that she should be doing this.

There is nothing invalid about the observation. (not a strawman)

The intended userbase of pass is clearly not non-tech-savvy/non-security aware philipinno mothers, so your remark is irrelevant.

What could possibly make you think that the guy who wrote pass (a git backed command line password manager) gives a shit about whether or not your Phillipino mother in law wants to use it?
