# Introduction

`sopass` is a command line password manager. Example:

~~~sh
$ sopass value list
...
$ sopass value show google.com/liw
...
~~~

The above will list names of all stored passwords, and then show the password
named `google.com/liw`.

The password database is stored in an encrypted file using OpenPGP keys. The
keys are used via a program that implements the Stateless OpenPGP, or SOP,
interface, which is designed to be easy to use from another program.

`sopass` is inspired by [pass](https://www.passwordstore.org/), but is not
a clone.
