  I'm the author of mypass. First of all, I'm very sorry to drop support (temporarily at least) for macOS and Windows with the latest release. It was a necessity for adopting SQLCipher (without available bindings for Python 3). But I reached the point where rolling (and encrypting) my own data structures is no longer a reasonable option (in particular with added support for multi-context credentials). On the other hand, the latest release adds support for FreeBSD (in addition to Linux).

  Unlike most Show HN posts this isn't a new software, but one that I initially created back in 2014, and ended up spending a fair amount of time on recently, leading to its 2.0 version which I released today. In the beginning it was just a hack scratching a personal itch of mine. But I think mypass has matured a lot since then, and I'd love to get some feedback from other potential users.
