title: Updating to latest "pass" on Ubuntu 14.04
kind: blog
description: The password manager "pass" is in Ubuntu's repository, but the version on 14.04 is quite old and does not support e.g. the "find" command ("pass find somesite.com", where "somesite.com" is in a subfolder of the password store).
