## What it is
gopass is a command-line password manager for teams, serving as a drop-in replacement for the standard UNIX pass tool. It encrypts secrets with GPG (or age), versions them in git, and works fully offline across Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows.

## Use cases
- manage passwords and secrets from the terminal
- share team credentials securely with GPG encryption
- sync a password store across devices using git
- generate strong passwords for services like AWS keys
- check passwords against Have I Been Pwned breaches
- fill passwords in the browser via gopass-bridge
- use as a git credential helper
- manage secrets on air-gapped machines

## When to choose
- you prefer a CLI-first workflow or need secrets in CI/CD
- you want a pass-compatible manager with team sharing and git history
- you need offline, self-hosted secret storage without a cloud vendor
- your team is distributed across Linux, macOS, and Windows

## When to avoid
- you want a polished graphical or mobile-first password manager
- you prefer cloud-synced vaults like 1Password or Bitwarden without self-managing git/GPG
- you are uncomfortable managing GPG keys

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
