Configuration

Environment Variables

Some configuration options are only available through setting environment variables.

Option Type Description

GOPASS_DEBUG bool Set to any non-empty value to enable verbose debug output
GOPASS_DEBUG_LOG string Set to a filename to enable debug logging
GOPASS_DEBUG_FUNCS string Comma separated filter for console debug output (functions)
GOPASS_DEBUG_FILES string Comma separated filter for console debug output (files)
GOPASS_UMASK octal Set to any valid umask to mask bits of files created by gopass
GOPASS_GPG_OPTS string Add any extra arguments, e.g. --armor you want to pass to GPG on every invocation
GOPASS_EXTERNAL_PWGEN string Use an external password generator. See Features for details
GOPASS_NOCOLOR bool Set to true to disable colored output
GOPASS_CHARACTER_SET bool Set to any non-empty value to restrict the characters used in generated passwords

GOPASS_FORCE_UPDATE bool Set to any non-empty value to force an update (if available)
GOPASS_NO_NOTIFY bool Set to any non-empty value to prevent notifications
GOPASS_NO_REMINDER bool Set to any non-empty value to prevent reminders

Variables not exclusively used by gopass

Option Type Description
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR string absolute path containing the password store (a directory). Only supported during initialization!
PASSWORD_STORE_UMASK string Set to any valid umask to mask bits of files created by gopass (GOPASS_UMASK has precedence over this)
EDITOR string command name to execute for editing password entries
PAGER string the pager program used for gopass list. See Features for details
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME string name of the author, used by the rcs backend to create a commit
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL string email of the author, used by the rcs backend to create a commit

Configuration Options

During start up, gopass will look for a configuration file at $HOME/.config/gopass/config.yml. If one is not present, it will create one. If the config file already exists, it will attempt to parse it and load the settings. If this fails, the program will abort. Thus, if gopass is giving you trouble with a broken or incompatible configuration file, simply rename it or delete it.

All configuration options are also available for reading and writing through the sub-command gopass config.

  • To display all values: gopass config
  • To display a single value: gopass config autosync
  • To update a single value: gopass config autosync false
  • As many other sub-commands this command accepts a --store flag to operate on a given sub-store, provided the sub-store is a remote one. Support for different local configurations per mount was dropped in v1.9.3.

This is a list of available options:

Option Type Description
askformore bool If enabled - it will ask to add more data after use of generate command. DEPRECATED in v1.10.0
autoclip bool Always copy the password created by gopass generate. Only applies to generate.
autoimport bool Import missing keys stored in the pass repository without asking.
autosync bool Always do a git push after a commit to the store. Makes sure your local changes are always available on your git remote. DEPRECATED in v1.10.0
concurrency int Number of threads to use for batch operations (such as reencrypting). DEPRECATED in v1.9.3
cliptimeout int How many seconds the secret is stored when using -c.
exportkeys bool Export public keys of all recipients to the store.
recipient_hash map Map of recipient ids to their hashes. DEPRECATED in v1.10.0
usesymbols bool If enabled - it will use symbols when generating passwords. DEPRECATED in v1.9.3
nocolor bool Do not use color.
nopager bool Do not invoke a pager to display long lists.
notifications bool Enable desktop notifications.
parsing bool Enable parsing of output to have key-value and yaml secrets.
path string Path to the root store.
safecontent bool Only output safe content (i.e. everything but the first line of a secret) to the terminal. Use copy (-c) to retrieve the password in the clipboard, or force (-f) to still print it.
