The gopass new
command is used in the context of the Gopass password manager application.
Gopass is a command-line password manager that helps securely store and manage passwords. Its new
command is used to create a new password entry in the Gopass password store.
When you execute gopass new
, it will prompt you to enter a name for the new password entry. This name can be any string that helps you identify the password entry (e.g., gmail
, work-email
, bank-account

Once you provide the name, Gopass will generate a random password for the new entry. This password can be further customized if needed. Then, it will ask you to confirm the password by entering it again. Finally, it will save the new password entry in the Gopass password store.
By using the new
