I switched from 1Password to my own passlock — here's what 2 months of daily use taught me

I was a paying cloud password manager user for years. Then the LastPass breach happened, and I started feeling uneasy my entire vault, sitting on someone else's server.

So I did something a little extreme: I started building my own offline password manager in Rust called passlock, and fully switched over two months ago.

After using my own tool daily for 2 months, here's what I actually learned:

  • It's faster no sync delays, no "checking for updates" spinner

  • I sleep better my vault literally never leaves my machine

  • The smart generator saved me I used to reuse passwords because generating good ones was a hassle. Now I generate a strong one in 2 clicks with a real-time crack time estimate
