Other significant issues I've had with `pass`:

- Important processes are undocumented. E.g. sharing the pass repository with another computer is not obvious: you need to copy more than the `.password-store/` directory...

- Hard to install if not packaged. I tried to install `pass` on a headless NAS, but it required gpg, which looked hard to cross-compile to aarch64.

- `pass` is a light interface over `gpg`. So it has all the problems of GPG – I've had a few annoyances with `gpg-agent`. Many organizations are trying to ditch GnuPG and switch to simpler and better cryptography tools, like age. https://github.com/FiloSottile/age

- Android with `pass` was a bad experience. The official package was unmaintained. The fork was not packaged in F-Droid. The UI was cumbersome.

I still use pass, for lack of an obviously better universal solution. There's FiloSottile/passage for minimal change, just replacing gpg with age, but no Android. A better alternative would be gopass, which is portable across all unixes, is compatible with `pass` and has an age plugin. But still no Android packaging. https://www.gopass.pw
