About QtPass

QtPass is a desktop interface for pass, the standard Unix password manager that stores each secret as a GnuPG-encrypted file and syncs the store with Git. It can call pass directly or use git and gpg2 itself, and runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and BSD with native widgets.

Features include built-in TOTP codes, a password generator, multiple profiles, per-folder recipients for shared stores, smartcard and YubiKey support, and optional regex search across decrypted entries. There is no account, no telemetry and no cloud service; the store is a set of local files.

Strengths

  • Uses open GPG encryption and Git sync with no vendor lock-in
  • Packaged by most Linux and BSD distributions
  • Built-in TOTP and smartcard or YubiKey support
  • Multi-recipient encryption for shared stores

Limitations

  • Requires setting up GPG keys, which can be unfamiliar
  • macOS build is not notarized, so the quarantine flag must be cleared by hand
  • No mobile app of its own
