Hi!
I am struggling to find a way to save/edit a password with `pass` that is stored in an ENV variable. I am also not finding an option in `pass` man page on how to do this. What comes to my mind is something like this:
$ PASS="1234567890"
$ echo $PASS | pass insert my_pass
But after running the above 2 commands, I get an error when I try to retrieve the password:
$ pass my_pass
Error: my_pass is not in the password store.
----------
Is there a way to do this? Or maybe the only way is to hack on `pass` and add a command line option to make it read from a Linux pipe?
