Blog post author here, I'm very glad to see my post on HackerNews since I've been a long time reader.

As many have pointed out, one big flaw in this blog post is that pass allows multi-line edit, I've corrected that in the blog post.

Many alternatives have been suggested here, I will sure to try them out someday, thanks!

Blog post author here, yes you are correct, I falsely assumed that I can only insert and manipulate one liners in the file due to these commands being the first things I learned about how to use pass, so I just moved away quickly without looking deeper.

I agree that powershell scripting experience is better, but I've found powershell scripts to be very slow on Linux, that's why I am still using bash

do you notice such an issue too?
