Don't you find it annoying having to switch to a terminal to log in to a site in your browser? I personally love LastPass. It's free for my use case and there's plugins for popular browsers, mobile apps, and a CLI app if you really want it.

From the pass website[1]:

--------------------

The community has even produced a cross-platform GUI client, an Android app, an iOS app, a Firefox plugin, Chrome plugin, a Windows client, a pretty Python QML app, a nice Go GUI app, an interactive console UI, Alfred integration (1) (2) (3), a dmenu script, OS X integration, git credential integration, and even an emacs package.

If this weren't the case, I'd agree :-)

True, but the chrome plugin has issues (something to do with the native messaging executable not working): https://github.com/dannyvankooten/browserpass/issues/28

It's a feature, I don't want a third party addon of an app (even firefox) to fiddle with gpg and my passwords more than necessary.

I wouldn't say it's a feature. I can use LastPass without installing any browser addons if I want. I just prefer the convenience. But I can understand why people might prefer stick with a terminal password manager.
