+<h2>pass, cli password manager</h2>
+
+<p><code>pass</code> is a command line utility to manage your passwords.</p>
+<p>
+It creates a simple file/folder structure under your $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR (by default <code>~/.password-store</code>) where every file is encrypted with your gpg key.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can organize that hierarchy as you see fit. For instance something like <code>sites/tilde.news/myusername</code> is a common way of doing it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Those files are not limited to contain simply a password, they can contain anything. But is recommended that the password goes alone in the first line, so you can benefit from the <code>-c</code> option which copies that to the clipboard directly.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There is bash, zsh and fish command line completion available and all can be tracked using git. So it's really convenient.
+</p>
+
+<h2>setup</h2>
+<p>This is simple, just one command (assuming you have your GnuPG key ready). GPG-ID is the hex id of your key.</p>
+<div class="code">
+$ pass init GPG-ID
+mkdir: created directory ‘/home/user/.password-store’
+Password store initialized for GPG-ID
+</div>
+
+
+<h2>basic usage</h2>
+
+<p>
+list all passwords "tree" style
+</p>
+<div class="code">
+$ pass
+Password Store
+├── sites
+│   ├── tilde.zone
+│   │   ├── myUserName
+│   │   ├── secondAccount
+...
+</div>
+<p>find a password</p>
+<div class="code">
+$ pass find tilde.zone
+Search Terms: tilde.zone
+└── sites
+    └── tilde.zone
+        └── myUserName@tilde.zone
+</div>
+<p>See the content of a file</p>
+<div class="code">
+    $ pass email/tilde.institute/myAccount
+    supersecret
+</div>
+<p>Copy the first line to the clipboard. Clear time can be configured with <code>$PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME</code></p>
+<div class="code">
+    $ pass -c email/tilde.institute/myAccount
+    Copied email/tilde.institute/myAccount to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
+</div>
+<p>Insert a new password. It can be multiline with <code>-m</code>. Remember to put the password on the first line if you want to use the clipboard function</p>
+<div class="code">
+    $ pass insert sites/foo.com/blah
+    Enter password for sites/foo.com/blah: 
+</div>
+<p>Generate a 32 chars random password and store it. You can define the default length with <code>$PASSWORD_STORE_GENERATED_LENGTH</code>. With <code>-n</code> the password will not include symbols, but alphanumeric characters only. With <code>-c</code> it gets copied to the clipboard as usual.</p>
+<div class="code">
+    $ pass generate sites/foo.com/abcd 32
+    The generated password to sites/foo.com/abcd is:
+    $(-QF&Q=IN2nFBx)
+</div>
+
+<p>take a look at the <code>--help</code> option or the complete documentation on their website.</p>
