Password Manager Angst

@timbray I'm always surprised how little love #pass gets in the #PasswordStore #security discussions.

It's from Jason A. Donenfeld - of #Wireguard fame - and it uses #git as it's "database" (i.e. files with version control) so you don't get any of the database corruption issues from which the other tools suffer.
