# GoPass

GoPass is a simple password manager for the command line.

## Installation

```bash

go install -v github.com/vitalvas/gopass@latest

```

## GoPass vs Pass

GoPass is a simple password manager written in Go. It is inspired by [Pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/), but is not compatible with it for the storage layer.

Cli commands are as compatible as possible (about 90%), to preserve user experience

| Feature | GoPass | Pass |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Storage | Plugin backend | Encrypted files |

| Encryption | Symetric (XChaCha20-Poly1305) | Asymetric (GPG) |

| Encryption key | Yes | No |

| Encryption value | Yes | Yes |

| Password generation | Yes | Yes |

| Writed in | Go | Shell |

### Storage

* `file` - stores data in a tree structure of keys. Each file is an independent key.

## Security

GoPass uses the `XChaCha20-Poly1305` algorithm for encryption. The system represents itself as a key-value store.

Encryption and decryption occurs on the cli side, which allows you to protect data during transmission and storage.

The key and values are encrypted in a special way. The key is encrypted using a hash from the passphrase. The values are encrypted using a hash of the key and passphrase combination, which reduces the ability for an attacker to track key movements.
