Browserpass: Chrome Extension for Password Store

Browserpass is a Chrome extension that integrates directly with zx2c4's pass (passwordstore.org) to securely retrieve and autofill login details. It uses native messaging to communicate with a local binary in a secure manner. Users can trigger the password search using 'Ctrl+Shift+L' or clicking the lock icon. The plugin requires a small binary to be installed on the user's operating system.

Just love this extension. Got a warning that it may soon no longer be supported but after checking the development on github they are working on it! (https://github.com/browserpass/browserpass-extension/issues/320)

На Ubuntu работает отлично

Is a life saver, makes working with Pass a breeze and the fuctionality that you can add password from the extension itself is great.
