       | I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when
       | SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just
       | feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the
       | background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized
       | for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be
       | useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

       | I'm on enPass now.
