Is this software not the same as pass?

Why rewrite it?
Or what is the difference?

Hi, great project! Any thoughts about supporting blocks of data, instead of single line usernames:

bank1
username=name1
password=pass1
q1=childhood friend
a1=aaaa
q2=sibling's middle name
a2=bbbb
otp=2de7ca73d978c12b3eee600b18ea72e5

specific fields can be clipped by ./purse.sh r bank1 -u (or explicitly --username), otherwise the whole block is printed.

I tried to use purse.sh and found that it was giving an error "tr: Illegal byte sequence"

Inspecting the code I see it was happening when using /dev/urandom to select a filename for the stored data in the purse. Google helped me find https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45404/why-cant-tr-read-from-dev-urandom-on-osx which helped me understand I needed an LC_ALL=C added to the script to override my default LANG.

Thanks for your tutorials/notes - I found them very helpful.
