About Pass for iOS
Pass for iOS is a mobile client for the pass command line password manager, which keeps each entry as a GPG-encrypted file in a Git repository. The app clones and syncs that repository, decrypts entries with your PGP keys, and lets you view, copy, add and edit them.
It supports one-time password tokens, AutoFill in Safari, Chrome and supported apps, and YubiKey. It is published on the App Store as "Pass - Password Store" for iPhone and iPad, and beta builds are available through TestFlight.
