I wouldn’t do it personally, Pass is cloud based and there’s a chance of leaks or breaches, If it’s really important to me, I use a local password manager that doesn’t sync
It’s safe in the sense that it’s locked up but it’s not safe in the sense of potentially fucking yourself over.
I think.
Exactly. This is like asking if it’s safe to lock the key inside of the safe.
I wouldn’t … mostly because it discourages you from remembering/memorizing your password, and that’s not something you want to do.
FWIW: I think the local password manager only folks are a bit overly paranoid (and most folks I’ve met of the mindset end up using syncthing or something like that anyways which is basically just Proton Pass with extra steps … so I wouldn’t worry much about that side of it).
I personally use both a local password manager (KeepassXC) and a cloud based manager. The “critical credentials” as well as 2fa recovery codes and such go into the local vault. Critical passwords are for example the ones for mail providers, encryption keys for backups etc. which allow me to recover my accounts in an emergency. The rest goes into the cloud manager for convenience.
