Congrats on the launch team! I love these products but may I ask what differentiates Passky from say 1password?

@lauritsjb Thanks! The main goal of Passky is to be a simple and unbloated password manager. Most password managers want to provide as many features as they can so they can compare that with their competitors. More features usually bring more security holes and vulnerabilities. If you compare 1Password with Passky, the main difference is that you can't self-host your passwords on your own server with 1Password (They are stored on 1Password servers), while Passky is made for people to self-host them. (If there is one company that stores passwords from millions of users, I bet that it is heavily targeted by hackers). If everyone would host their own password manager on $10 raspberry PI Zeros it would increase their security and also privacy. That's why Passky Server is written with under 1000 lines of code and can be self-hosted with ease. Everything has pros and cons. If you want more features you can go with Bitwarden or 1Password, but if you want a password manager just to do one thing well (Store your passwords securely) you can try Passky.

@lauritsjb @ziga_zajc That makes a ton of sense! I'll give it a go.

Great tool! Also this interface is so cool! *_* Congratulations on the launch! ^_^ I would like to ask you, since it is about protection: does Passky use some cybersecurity systems, and if yes - could you tell me more about it? ^_^

@maria_brm Thanks! Passky uses your master password (Your main password to your account) to encrypt and decrypt your saved passwords/messages with AES encryption. Encryption and decryption happen on your device (Client-side). Passky Server is only used to store encrypted data, so even if one of the public Passky servers gets hacked, attackers won't be able to decrypt users' passwords without their master password. So Passky server is only there to store encrypted data of users, that only users with their master password can decrypt it. A similar password encryption system uses Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePassXC and many other password managers.

@akovalevskyi Passky does include backup option that will store encrypted passwords in json file. So you can store your passwords safely on USB drive or cloud storage.

Kudos on the opensoure side, will its security be 3rd party audited like Bitwarden?

@yff Security is our main priority too. The advantage of Passky is that it's written with less than 1000 lines of code (Unlike Bitwarden with more than 400 000 lines of code). This also makes Passky more maintainable and much harder for bugs and vulnerabilities to squeeze in. So I'm looking forward to 3rd party audits. Only time will tell.

@jbenassi It's free forever, but keep in mind that you can only store 1000 passwords per account on public Passky servers.

@ai_yee Public servers are free. But keep in mind that you can only store up to 1000 passwords per account and each public server has a user limit. Limits can be increased and more public servers added in the future.

Do you have an iOS client?

@njonesy I would need more time to develop native IOS / Android / Windows / Linux / MacOS... applications. But for now PWAs are cross-platform and works on every OS. You can visit https://vault.passky.org and if your browser is smart enough, it would detect that PWA is available and prompt you to add it to your home screen.
