yeah, the dev seems kinda like a shitposter ngl (although there are some funny pictures in the front page)

However, I configured it as my default search engine, so I never go to the front page. Also, at least is free and open source (AGPL)

Been using 4get for some time now, I don't think a search engine can get better than this

I agree, but picture this: if someone get their hands in a kdbx database, they would need to brute force through the master password; they couldn't possibly know any sites or logins. In the other hand, if someone got your password store, and you used this hierarchy structure, they could try to attack directly the logins, which increases the attack surface. That being said, yes, I completely agree with your last statement.

edit. For example, if you want to host the password database in a host service not owned by yourself, pass is entirely out of question in this case. A kbdx database, however, would offer a good deal of privacy

Hmm I get it. As I said, I think there is good use cases for it, specially because of the simplicity, but I personally prefer to have the entire database encrypted, kinda like keepassxc does

So even the sub-directories of the password store are encrypted? For example, even if I put my password int the name of a subdirectory, they wouldn't be able to see it?

So, I've been using keepassxc for some time now, but I wanted a viable alternative for command line usage (there is keepassxc-cli, that I use, but it is really a pain in the ass). So, I searched and found pass and gopass.

However, I've seen that they store each entry in a gpg encrypted file, inside a plain directory hierarchy. And, don't get me wrong, I believe that there are use cases for this, but if someone got their hands in your password_store, they would know every single login that you have (the only information that is protected is the password, or whatever is in the gpg file).

So, my question is, there is a password manager, cli based, that encrypts the whole database, and not the single entries?

Update: there is a pass extension made specifically to address this issue
