1Password vs pass

An iteration on the UI brings a polished look that was already good-looking to begin with. It even tries pulling in relevant app and web icons, adds credit cards logos and has little animation to make the experience more pleasant.

Versatility and synchronicity for the majority of the devices and platforms you use. Plus, all software is free with a paid subscription.

Easily fill in passwords with a single keystroke combination.
Quickly add new and update existing passwords right from the browser when the login is detected by the free browser extension.

1Password can checks for weak, duplicate and old passwords you have stored.

Automatically logs into websites, enters credit card information, fills registration forms, and easily generates strong passwords. Password generator can be adjust to use or exclude certain characters and patterns.

A feature called Watchtower cross-references known website vulnerabilities with stored login information using a database that is updated daily.

1Password offers an option to create a shared vault for sharing passwords among friends, family and co-workers.

Pro Version now supports time based one time passwords (instead of installing google authenticator).

For more information see here.

All TouchID capable devices are supported.

1Password offers syncing through cloud storage services such as Dropbox and iCloud and a possibility to sync locally over Wi-Fi if you opt not to use cloud storage.

This app is endorsed by many high credibility security experts (for example, Troy Hunt ).

1Password can store secure notes which don't file cleanly into other areas like passwords or bank details. Secure notes can be used to record anything you want.

One could manage a vault for work, a vault that's personal and a shared family vault while keeping the details of each segmented from each other and only sync'ed where/if desired.

There is an immense sense of community and openness with 1Password.

Unlike many other password management tools, by default the 1Password encrypted database is not stored in the cloud, but strictly locally, for added security.

As it has both Git support and encrypts passwords to GPG-encrypted text files, it is really simple to access everywhere. You can either use a self-hosted or a personal cloud hosted Git repository. It is automatically being kept up-to-date. Clients for pretty much everything and a really active community. Even if you can't run a client you will still be able to access the password by decrypting them from the Git store.

And is basically just a bunch of GPG-encrypted files stored in a folder.

You are not forced to rely on any other service provider than yourself. Like saving them on a remote server as in the case of LastPass. You don't have to extend your trust (to LastPass or any other provider).

It has a Qt-based GUI, an Android and iOS app, a Firefox plugin, a Golang GUI app, an interactive CUI, a dmenu script, OS X integration, and also an Emacs package.

It doesn't use a database like, for example, KeePass and thus doesn't open all passwords at once. Just one at a time.

You can version-control the encrypted files using Git, which allows you to track all changes done.

Does one thing and does it well.

As GPG and Git are widely used, it relies on thoroughly tested and secure functionality.

You and your team can share a repo and different subtrees can be encrypted for different sets of GPG ids.

For example the plugin "pass-extension-tail" makes it possible to only display the non-password parts of a password file, like the username or the name of the service the password is needed for, and without showing the password.

It's very easy to understand what the program does, why it's doing it, and how it's secure.
