I don't trust cloud based password stores. So I use pass which uses gpg encryption for your passwords.

https://www.passwordstore.org

GitHub has a good tutorial on generating your own gpg key: https://help.github.com/en/articles/generating-a-new-gpg-key

Using this you can encrypt your files. I store my gpg files in on a git forge. This way, I load my gpg key, clone the repo into ~/.password-store and voila! I can use my asswords/secrets across devices. It even has a utility for Android.

Besides that, I use Emacs a lot so I use helm-pass package to streamline my password discovery and copy-to-clipboard actions without exposing the password in plain view.


I wish I had your friends and family’s comfort with using GPG keys.
