Can I use it fully offline?

How do I back it up to USB drive?

What does the day-to-day operation of Pass compared to Keepass look like?

I am trying to learn it as I want to use it, as I think that keepass is bloated for my use case, and I would appreciate any help here.

    Yes, you can use it fully offline.

    To back it up I believe you’d just need to backup your .pass and .gnupg directories.

    I haven’t used keepass, but the entry from the archwiki should give you a good idea of usage, and it also lists some helper apps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass

    Super simple.

    pass list existing passphrase pairs

    pass insert $SERVICE add new passphrase pair, substituting $SERVICE for whatever resource you’re saving a passphrase for

    pass $SERVICE print stored passphrase for $SERVICE to stdout

    You will need to configure gnupg key pair before using pass, if you haven’t already.
