==== Install and use pass Unix-Philosofy password manager ====

\\
To install the **pass** package
<code bash>
# packagemanager-install-command pass
# for Debian-based Linux, for example:
apt install pass
</code>

**Create a gpg key** if you don't have one
<code bash>
gpg --full-generate-key
</code>

List your keys **KEYID** in LONG format, to use it on **pass**
<code bash>
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG

# output looks something like this:

/home/user/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
-----------------------------
sec   rsa4096/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2020-01-01 [SC]
      BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
uid                 [ultimate] User <user@email>
ssb   rsa4096/CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC 2020-01-01 [E]

# copy the text in your case for the placeholder of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
# which is your secret gpg keyid
</code>

Once you **copy the keyid**, init the password store using:
<code bash>
pass init "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

# !! put your keyid instead of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
</code>

\\
=== So, how to do stuff? ===
\\
Insert a secret for mastodon.social (for example)
<code bash>
pass insert mastodon.social
# or
pass insert SocialMedia/mastodon.social
# or just
pass insert Social/mastodon
# or whatever hierarchy you want
</code>

**Print the secret** using tab completion
<code bash>
pass mastodon.social
</code>

Or just **copy it** on the main **clipboard** for 45 seconds
<code bash>
pass -c mastodon.social
</code>

\\
Enjoy!!
