QtPass is a GUI for pass, the standard unix password manager.
- Using pass or git and gpg2 directly
- Configurable shoulder surfing protection options
- Cross platform: Linux, BSD, OS X and Windows
- Per-folder user selection for multi recipient encryption
- Multiple profiles

On most systems all you need is:
qmake && make && make install
On Mac OS X:
qmake && make && macdeployqt QtPass.app
- Currently seems to only work with MacGPG2
Using this program will not magically keep your passwords secure against compromised computers even if you use it in combination with a smartcard.
It does protect future and changed passwords though against anyone with access to your password store only but not your keys. Used with a smartcard it also protects against anyone just monitoring/copying all files/keystrokes on that machine and such an attacker would only gain access to the passwords you actually use. Once you plug in your smartcard and enter your PIN (or due to CVE-2015-3298 even without your PIN) all your passwords available to the machine can be decrypted by it, if there is malicious software targeted specifically against it installed (or at least one that knows how to use a smartcard).
To get better protection out of use with a smartcard even against a targeted attack I can think of at least two options:
- The smartcard must require explicit confirmation for each decryption operation. Or if it just provides a counter for decrypted data you could at least notice an attack afterwards, though at quite some effort on your part.
- Use a different smartcard for each (group of) key.
- If using a YubiKey or U2F module or similar that requires a "button" press for other authentication methods you can use one OTP/U2F enabled WebDAV account per password (or groups of passwords) as a quite inconvenient workaround. Unfortunately I do not know of any WebDAV service with OTP support except ownCloud (so you would have to run your own server).
- Filtering (searching) breaks the tree/model sometimes
- Starting without a correctly set password-store folder give weird results in the tree view
- On Mac OS X only the gpgtools MacGPG2 version works with passphrase or PIN
- Re-encryption after users-change (optional of course)
- Plugins based on field name, plugins follow same format as password files
- Colour coding folders (possibly disabling folders you can't decrypt)
- WebDAV (configuration) support
- Optional table view of decrypted folder contents
- Opening of (basic auth) urls in default browser? Possibly with helper plugin for filling out forms?
- Some other form of remote storage that allows for accountability / auditing (web API to retrieve the .gpg files?)
