I thought this was meant to be the easier version of pass! This is actually far harder and more broken.

Step 1: Have go version 1.16 or later
Step 2: run `go get github.com/gopasspw/gopass`
Step 3: run `gopass setup` and have it fail with a cryptic error message
Step 4: Spend the next 4 hours debugging that message till you give up and set up gpg keys manually
Step 5: Guess that the setup instructions for this extension are in the gopass repo
Step 6: Get to the part about how you need to install gopass-json from the releases page as instructed by the README
Step 7: Realise that application isn't actually there any more and instead is somewhere else on the web. Guess that it might be in their github account under gopass-json
Step 8: Go to the gopass-json rep and read that readme to discover you need to download the program from this associated releases page.
Step 9: Run gopass-json configure as instructed and answer it's questions and see that a wrapper script is generated SOMEWHERE!
Step 10: Guess that the wrapper needs to be run and is probably in ~/.config/gopass/
Step 11: Run it and get a cryptic message and nothing else.
Step 12: Click on browser the extension and get the message "Please update gopass to version 1.8.5" or later.
Step 13: Go check what version of gopass you are running and see that it's version 1.12.8
Step 14: Realise that this was actually just a massive software version of a Rick Roll and you've wasted your entire night on something that was never going to work and that you never actually spent this long setting up the pass extension and it's browser companion, which is really saying something as that experience was far from friendly.

It seems like this software may have had a friendly install at one point but gradually they decoupled many parts of the software and forgot to make sure it all still worked together and was documented.
