Read and Write Passwords

We assume shared directories have been created as shown in shared_password_directories.md

Insert some shared passwords:

pass generate my_team/management/boss_password > /dev/null

pass generate my_team/development/dev_password > /dev/null

We can read this one because we have the private keys for passt-user1.

pass show my_team/development/dev_password

We cannot read this one because we do not have the private keys.

pass show my_team/management/boss_password

gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

(exit 2)

Pass handles your other passwords as you would it expect it. You can add some non-shared passwords as well.

pass generate private/path/personal_password > /dev/null

pass show private/path/personal_password
