    If you do this, you’ll start writing small scripts to help you with repeating tasks, to simplify somethings, then you’ll start looking for help trying to improve those scripts, then you’ll find better written and tested ones and start replacing yours with those, one by one. Then you’ll probably find pass or other terminal password manager. It can be a fun learning experience but sooner or later you’ll end up using a password manager.

      Pass is pretty cool, used it for many years

      Now switched to vaultwarden so it’s more user friendly for my girlfriend

      Ah, the programmers pilgrimage. The first hill that they must climb is the one where they spend 12 days automating something that would have taken 10 seconds every time + half hour setup time.
