# plass Source: [https://projects.omarpolo.com/plass.html](https://projects.omarpolo.com/plass.html) > manage passwords plass is a password manager inspired by password\-store in the essence but completely reimplemented with a smaller and \(IMO\) cleaner interface\. It doesn't have fancy trees nor colors in the output; the absence of these is considered a feature\. It aims to stay closer to the "UNIX phylosophy" by trying to do one thing only and to it \(hopefully\) well\. With plass every password lives inside a gpg\(1\) encrypted file somewhere inside ~/\.password\-store which is managed with the[got\(1\)](https://gameoftrees.org/)VCSto keep track changes, recovery accidental overwrites and synchronize it across devices\. Documentation and example usage can be found in the manual pages: - [plass\(1\)](https://projects.omarpolo.com/plass.1.html)\- manage password - [pwg\(1\)](https://projects.omarpolo.com/pwg.1.html)\- password generator - [totp\(1\)](https://projects.omarpolo.com/totp.1.html)\- time\-based one time password generator At the moment plass is completely compatible with pass, but in the future the encryption tool may be switched to something different to gpg\.
