## What it is
Browserpass is a browser extension for zx2c4's pass (the UNIX password store) that auto-fills or copies credentials for the current domain, helping protect against phishing. It requires a companion native messaging host to interface with the local password store.

## Use cases
- auto-fill passwords from pass in the browser
- copy pass credentials to clipboard per domain
- fill OTP codes from password store entries
- avoid phishing by matching credentials to current domain
- use pass with Chromium or Firefox

## When to choose
- you use zx2c4's pass or gopass as your password manager
- you want a phishing-resistant browser autofill for a CLI password store
- you prefer a local, GPG-encrypted password store over cloud managers

## When to avoid
- you don't use pass/gopass or don't want to install a native messaging host
- you need a full-featured GUI password manager with sync
- you use a browser other than Chromium or Firefox derivatives
