Maybe this is not the best place to discuss this, but is it possible to put your private key into a qr code? This could make pass tool friendly across devices.
I was thinking to put all my encrypted passwords in a public github repo and be able to access to my passwords from any device passing my private key from a qr code and then putting my password to decrypt the private key. I would like to hear from security people if this it's viable or is the worst idea ever.
