Pass doesn't use any proprietary/closed formats. Passwords are kept in gpg-encrypted text files.

Pro
 Requires little to no storage

Passacre needs only a configuration file to tell it how to hash passwords, what kind of output it should produce, and which sites need specific generation rules. There’s no database where passwords are stored, so it’s not possible to be locked out of everything if that file is lost.
Comment

Pro
 Lightweight

The utility itself has no GUI, and is written in Python, so it’s portable and has few dependencies.
Comment

Con
 Requires knowledge of the command line

To use passacre, some knowledge of the command line as well as Python is required.
