+# `pass` Shilling
+This one is gonna be short but I've come shill password manager that:
+
+* Allows for simple generation of passwords
+* Allows for easy backups to be made
+* Is compatible with basically any password access workflow you can think of
+* Is completely foss
+* Allows for both single and multiline passwords
+* Allows for optional opt-in versioning using git ( as a subcommand )
+  * Can also be used with other VCS's
+
+It's called `pass` --> https://www.passwordstore.org/
+
+# Examples
+
+Here's an example of how it works
+
+
+Simple Generation of passwords: 
+
+```
+~ pass generate example 100
+[master 3cfe907] Add generated password for example.
+ 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
+ create mode 100644 example.gpg
+The generated password for example is:
+9m/Mk5WzLE75=QzhdD;T>}keXOv')FOh~S(=J43OAZ2qkxg<I>hjUJGRpav%oI<yq!ULw0<)@#P|+y0C2~q[O2=&^x{P_\v'K@\B
+```
+
+Want to straight up just copy it directly? Ok here you go with `-c`
+
+```
+pass generate example2 100 -c
+[master 55599f0] Add generated password for example2.
+ 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
+ create mode 100644 example2.gpg
+Copied example2 to clipboard. Will clear in 45 seconds.
+```
+
+# Why tho
+
+Because it's completely dead simple to the point of absurdity. Want a really
+weird use case; pipe the output into a `qr` command and generate completely
+random qr codes. Using the same example as above:
+
+```
+pass example | qr

+Also each password is just a file in a directory tree which means you can sort
+things however  you'd like which is also neat. Anyway that is all I had for now
+just thought this program I've been using for a while now was cool and deserved
+a quick post about it :smile:
