Android Password Store is back on F-Droid

GitHub - agrahn/Android-Password-Store: Android application compatible with ZX2C4's Pass command line application

Rejoice! Our beloved password manager, ZX2C4's pass, sees its Android implementation back on F-Droid. This APS fork has been pushing development forward since some time already, and has finally been published on the aforementioned app store earlier this month.

Is this an alternative to bitwarden and keepass? Is it better in terms of security?
- I don't have any experience with bitwarden. The question is what do you want.
  I like pass because I can host my password with git, a decentralised storage. I have to manage the key myself.
How to use this thing?
- Did you see the Documentation section in the README.md? You basically initialise a password store on your server, and you use an implementation like this to sync (SSH + git) your passwords, which are encrypted via your GPG key.
  https://www.passwordstore.org/ has some instructions how to initialise a password store on, for example, your server. Then refer to https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store/wiki/First-time-setup to configure the app.
  
  Did you see the Documentation section in the README.md?
  Yes, that's why I'm asking.
Unfortunately OpenKeyChain is now no longer being developed. It still works.. for now.
- APS moved away from OpenKeychain to PGPainless some time ago, from before this fork started. While not perfect either (see https://github.com/agrahn/Android-Password-Store/issues/287), PGPainless is being maintained, and from what I can tell from this APS fork's git log, is automatically bumped via their renovate bot (e.g. https://github.com/agrahn/Android-Password-Store/commit/9a6b596199d7eb87b40b53c4cb111ba7a5b48188)
  
  Omg thank you! I was just starting to look for alternatives
Anyone know what windows client is able to use GNU pass?
- It runs fine in wsl. Admittedly that's not ideal, but may be the best option.
