GPG files are easier managed than dedicated password managers.

    Not quite true. You coud for ex. store IDKThisSite.gpg, and have it in this format:

    PASSWORD
    
    login: USERNAME
    url: LOGIN_URL
    

    This is also supported by browser extensions for pass, like passff

    And you can still get the password only by pass IDKThisSite | head -n1

      How do you know IDKThisSite is the file you want to decrypt among the 100 other vaguely named files you have?

        Well if you use ffpass you don’t care, ffpass will figure it out for you. If you want to do by hand well, you gotta know what’s more useful for you: ease or use or privacy. You could also store the mappings in a separate, gpg encrypted file in csv for ex.
