Read this after much fiddling with git etc and somehow I got rid of the
annoying openphoto entry and now all appears as it should.  I think as I
imported from Lastpass it was an odd entry from that.  I deleted my
original password.store folder, manually edited all exported entries from
Lastpass in a spreadsheet, reimported that into Keepass2 to import back to
Lastpass and then exported again to import into pass - all good now.  I
took that long import/export track as for whatever reason, only the
lastpass importer worked for me - none of the passwordsafe, or keepass
versions would work.

​
I found the bash-completion script (now I know how it is referenced on the
website, it seems perfectly clear now where the script is, plus Arch
packages it, but it took ages to work that out), however just posted a
question about how to actually make the script work - sorry.
