1 Introduction

sopass is a command line password manager. Example:

$ sopass value list
...
$ sopass value show google.com/liw
...

The above will list names of all stored passwords, and then show the password named google.com/liw.

The password database is stored in an encrypted file using OpenPGP keys. The keys are used via a program that implements the Stateless OpenPGP, or SOP, interface, which is designed to be easy to use from another program.

sopass is inspired by pass, but is not a clone.
