  The Pass password manager is also included in most Linux software package repositories, so in most cases it can be easily installed via the default package manager. This is why it is relatively simple to install and use a Pass password manager. Pass needs to create a GNU Privacy Guard key, after which the password can be easily added to the password store of its manager. ^[2]
