Gopass UI

Abstract

1. Introduction

In addition there is a search window that can be opened with (cmd || ctrl) + shift + p.

For most platforms just download the latest packaged application from our releases and install it. We provide binaries for MacOS, Windows and Linux (deb, RPM, snap, AppImage, Gentoo). For more details see supported platforms and packages.

Of course, you need to have Gopass up and running. We also recommend to use a dialog-based PIN-entry-tool for typing in GPG passphrases like pinentry-mac for MacOS instead of using the default terminal-based.

2. Objective

gopass CLI + UI = visual cross-platform password manager for teams
