This application tries to be 100% compatible with [pass](http://www.passwordstore.org/)
You can install the application from:
* [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.zeapo.pwdstore)
* [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zeapo.pwdstore)
Pull requests are more than welcome (see [TODO](https://github.com/zeapo/Android-Password-Store/projects/1#column-228844)).
## Features
* Clone an existing pass repository (ssh-key and user/pass support)
* List the passwords
* Handle the directories as categories
* Decrypt the password files (first line is the password, the rest is extra data)
* Add a new password to the current category (or no category if added at the root)
* Pull and Push changes to the remote repository
* Ability to change remote repository info
## How-To
See the [wiki](https://github.com/zeapo/Android-Password-Store/wiki/First-time-setup) for a newer written version of the following gif walkthrough
## FAQ
**Q:** What kind of repository can I clone from?
**A:** Make sure to only clone from bare repositories (see [git-clone(1)](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone) for how to create a bare repository from an existing one). Otherwise the clone will fail.
**Q:** I get a "Permission Denied" error when trying to import my ssh-key, why?
**A:** ssh-key files are usually created with permissions set to `600` , meaning that only the creator of this key has the right to read from it. The application needs a read access, at least temporarily, make the permissions to `644` , import the key, then set them back to `600` .
**Q** I get the error *No encrypted data with known secret key found in stream*
**A** In OpenKeyChain **(under the left drawer) Apps > Password Store > Accounts > (select the account) > Account key** select the key used to encrypt your passwords.
**Q** OpenKeyChain's password prompt doesn't show up when I tap on my passwords
**A** Be sure to disable battery optimisation for OpenKeychain in your device's settings and make sure there is no task killer running.
