Re: password-store /dev/shm mfs

Yes, I fully agree that in such cases "pass edit" is more appropriate.

But, to just share my experience, I noticed that multiline pass
entries are not very convenient for fast using.
I prefer to split such multiline entries to several pass entries like
this (just an example):

$ pass insert my_personal_web_mail_in_gmail/login
$ pass insert my_personal_web_mail_in_gmail/password
$ pass insert my_personal_web_mail_in_gmail/url

In combination with dmenu + pinentry-dmenu + hotkeys I can get needed
info from password-store very fast.

All of this is a matter of taste of course.
