Information
This is info about how the password
manager got made, as well as on how it works
How it got started
This all started as a simple group project for a class at the Davis Catalyst Center. The first idea was a simple website password strength checker. But we all wanted to do more, and expanded the idea into a password manager. We made an app that can store passwords, as we have now. It was a little rough around the edges, but was a great starting point. We upgraded the password manager, rebuild the website, bought a domain name, and started hosting it. And that leads us to today. We now have a great password manager that anyone can download.

Core Features
Password Strength Checker
We analyze your passwords using a robust combination of a trusted password breach database and our own optimized rainbow table to detect weak or compromised passwords.
Secure Password Storage
Store all your login information with peace of mind. Your data is protected with industry-grade encryption methods, including XOR/SHA-256 and Base64 encoding.
Password & Passphrase Generator
Generate secure, memorable passphrases using EFF Dice encryption. Even with just 4 words, the odds of your passphrase being cracked are 1 in 120 billion — that's 37 bits of entropy, roughly as hard as guessing the right grain of sand on a football field.
Password Update Reminders
Keep your accounts secure with regular reminders to update old passwords.
Autofill & Background Operation
Let us handle the hassle – your passwords autofill securely while we run in the background. *Evil laughter*
Multi-Factor Authentication
Add an extra layer of security to your login process with robust MFA options.
SMS and SMTP Alerts
Stay informed with real-time alerts sent to your phone or email whenever suspicious activity is detected.
How We Keep You Safe
Efficient Encryption Algorithms
- XOR + SHA-256 + Base64: A solid, logic-based encryption combo used in our open-source version to ensure long-term stability without relying on potentially unstable external libraries.
- AES-256 Encryption (Paid Version): We use the gold standard of encryption. AES-256 provides a staggering 2²⁵⁶ possibilities (that's 1.15e+77 keys) — more than atoms in the universe.
Salt & Key Derivation
Every encryption uses a unique salt and derived key, so even identical passwords are stored differently.
Master Password Protection
A strong master password makes your data virtually impenetrable. A 12-character password with mixed characters has over 4.6e+23 combinations — more than the grains of sand on Earth.
Virtually Impossible to Crack
With AES-256 and strong passwords, brute-force attacks become mathematically impractical. Even supercomputers would need billions of years to make a dent.
Open-Source & Future-Proof
Virtually Impossible to Crack
Our free, open-source version is built with simplicity and logic in mind, avoiding unstable third-party dependencies. It's designed to be stable and trustworthy for years to come.
Prefer top-tier encryption? Our paid version includes AES-256, though no system is guaranteed to be future-proof forever.
