# pass age
A [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org) extension that can show you how long you are using a certain password.
## Why
- Why not?
- It could be useful to use for password rotation
## Requirements
These commands assume you're using pass together with git. It won't do much if it cannot examine older versions of your password files.
## Installation
1. Enable pass [extensions](https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions).
2. Copy or symlink `age.bash` and `ages.bash` into your `~/.password-store/.extensions` directory.
## How to use
### Show the age of one password
```shell_session
pass age amazon.com
```
This command will figure out when you last changed the first line of the `amazon.com.gpg` file. It will output the unix-timestamps, a human readable version of that timestamp, and the name of the file. This is convenient for further processing with `sort` or `grep` or `awk`.
### Show password ages of all passwords
```shell_session
pass ages
```
or, if you're only interested in a certain set of passwords in a subdirectory, say your passwords for work:
```shell_session
pass ages work
```
Note that this command can be very slow as it likely has to decrypt multiple versions of each password file.
### Get help
```shell_session
pass age --help
pass ages --help
```
This will show you how to use the commands... but not much more. Sorry.
## Advanced usage
### Show password ages of all passwords, sorted by age, youngest first
```shell_session
pass ages | sort -r
# or
pass ages subdirectory | sort -r
```
### Show the oldest three passwords
```shell_session
pass ages | sort -r | tail -n 3
```
