Install

sudo pacman -S --needed pass

Password store directory

~/.password-store/

chmod 600 ~/.password-store/

(Optional) As user, restore you password gpg key from a backup directory (replace secret_key.asc accordingly):

DOTFILES = path_to_password_gpg_keys
gpg --import $DOTFILES/keys/gpg-pass/private_key.asc

List secret keys with (or -K)

gpg --list-secret-keys

[keyboxd]
---------
sec   rsa2048 2014-08-13 [SC]
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
uid           [ultimate] Password Storage Key
ssb   rsa2048 2014-08-13 [E]

Edit the key with

gpg --edit-key "Password Storage"

Set trust level to 5:

gpg> trust
gpg> 5
gpg> quit
