Sorry, I can't reproduce this.
For me it's working with either autoclip true or false.

Do you have more information to reproduce?

I can reproduce it and actually came here because of the same problem.

$ pass twitter.com/MetalMatze 
✔ Copied twitter.com/MetalMatze to clipboard. Will clear in 10 seconds.
$ pass show twitter.com/MetalMatze
✔ Copied twitter.com/MetalMatze to clipboard. Will clear in 10 seconds.
$ pass show -o twitter.com/MetalMatze                                                                                                                                                
✔ Copied twitter.com/MetalMatze to clipboard. Will clear in 10 seconds.
XXX

As you can see only show -o actually outputs the contents of the password.
This is also a breaking change in the API, which I noticed because I started piping Copied twitter.com/MetalMatze to clipboard. Will clear in 10 seconds. into my password fields:

gopass ls --flat | dmenu | xargs --no-run-if-empty gopass show | head -n 1 | xdotool type --clearmodifiers --file -

After updating on Arch to
gopass 1.9.1 (2020-05-10 11:42:40) go1.14.2 linux amd64
My autoclip settings was suddenly set to true. After changing it, it works as expected and does print the password when issuing gopass my/secret

Same here, -c stopped working with latest update I got
1.9.0-2
EDIT: well, maybe not the same, I can get the password on the commandline, it just doesn't copy to the clipboard
EDIT2: Only --alsoclip option works and updates my clipboard

[skaldesh]

@chama-chomo you do not have the latest version. The latest is 1.9.1, where the issues you are describing have been solved

This was My case as well the autoclip was set true in *$XDG_CONFIG" config.yml
which broke rofi_pass and other scripts I have pulling passwords..

Had exactly the same problem, flipped autoclip to false and passwords showed up again.
In the meantime it broke my scripts too, not a big deal, but I was quite perplexed at first xD

Thank you all for reporting on this issue.

In https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/issues/1323#issuecomment-623656339 I have listed the intended behaviour and verified that HEAD still works that way. So the current implementation is working as intended.

However there seem to be two issues here:

• the default for autoclip used to be true and was only recently changed to false. Whoever started using between 1.4 and 1.8 likely has autoclip set to true. In #1327 the previously inconsistent behaviour of autoclip was fixed leading to surprising behaviour for some users. This was definitely not intended, I'm afraid. However now I don't see any clean way to go back.
• autoclip interacts poorly with non-interactive usage. This can probably be improved. This should be tracked in #1352.

For now please make sure to use gopass show -f in your scripts.
