The actual password store is stored in a separate VM, never decrypted in the VM you manage the passwords from. +2. You do not need to set up your own GPG key, as `qvm-pass init` does it for you. +3. There are two different services one for read-only access and one for read-write. +4. There is a `get-or-generate` feature, not available in normal `pass`, which is useful for stuff like programs that need a password generated and then remembered (such as the excellent [`qubes-pass` Ansible lookup plugin](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ansible-qubes/tree/master/lookup_plugins). + *Tip:* combine this program with the excellent [`qubes-pass` lookup plugin for Ansible Qubes](https://github.com/Rudd-O/ansible-qubes) or the [`pass` lookup plugin for Ansible](https://github.com/gcoop-libre/ansible-lookup-plugin-pass)
