For me the bigger problem would be the stored crypted data in the
password-store where I have nearly 300 credentials:

$ find .password-store -type f | wc -l
     282

I wrote a script which decrypts all these files to STDOUT in a form which
could be fed again into the pass(1) command and stores this
in some secure place from time to time.
