gopass is a command-line password manager built for distributed teams who need secure credential management without compromising on flexibility or autonomy. Unlike cloud-based solutions, gopass keeps your passwords under your control with GPG encryption and optional git versioning, allowing you to work offline or in air-gapped environments.

Key capabilities include:

Cross-platform compatibility - Identical experience on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD, and Alpine Linux
100% pass compatible - Drop-in replacement for the standard UNIX password manager
Team-friendly features - Recipient management and shared stores for distributed teams
Multiple encryption backends - GPG by default, with support for age and other alternatives
Flexible storage - Git versioning included, with options for fossil or filesystem-only storage
Browser integration - Extensions available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and mobile browsers
OTP support - Generate one-time passwords directly from stored credentials
No dependencies required - Works standalone, though git and gpg enhance functionality

The primary interface is the terminal, making it perfect for developers, CI/CD pipelines, and power users. Optional browser extensions let you avoid the command line when needed. Installation is straightforward through package managers like Homebrew, apt, dnf, pacman, or direct download from releases.
