Thank you for your PR, I have some comments:

Debian appears to trust pass or at least has packaged it for the main repository (I personally cannot audit it), so I guess the app itself is fine.
However I am not sure on the linked apps, who can say can they be relied upon?
I think pass does not comform with our main software requirements, mainly the ease to use. So I think pass would be better as a worth mentioning app rather than recommended and something like "pass compatible apps for multiple platforms are available" could be said with a link to the section on their website.

I think we have a separate photo for non-GitHub repos when git is used. Also a typo.

I am not entirely sure on this description though, are Windows users likely to be familiar with ~ ?

I feel a bit uncomfortable with these as they aren't official apps, while they seem to be open source.

Do SVGs usually look like this?

For the review itself, the program is no more than a bash script that encrypts the password and decrypts it.

I currently use the Android App that is in the froid store, but concerning the other applications none can ensure that are working well or are trustworthy so that I can delete the links.

And least I agree with you to move it to the worth mentioning instead in the general section due to the "easy to use" point, I will add the the phrase you have said.

I agree, i think we could add pass as a worth mentioning app but not with it's own card.

The main power of pass is that it can store secrets which can be used in scripts without having the actual password in the script. This isn't a feature however a lot of users are going to use, and I would certainly say the 3 mentioned Bitwarden, KeePassXC, and LessPass are better choices for most users.

It has a simple terminal interface where the user can perform the usual actions, and it's functionality can be extended by plugins. It can also be used in scripts without having to input the actual password in plain text.

The other suggestions don't have a space
@cradamy nearby suggested bare-bones as very simple means easy to use (which happens to also be one of the reasons we requested moving it as worth mentioning)
code tags were previously suggested and approved
the rest is just my gut feeling on what would seem better
