Hey Product Hunt, I am the maker of Safeguard This is something I made recently. The problem? We often forget to make unique passwords for every site. Hence use the same for each one. But often this poses a security issue as some of these sites make leak your passwords. Hence using a password manager can solve this problem for you as it will generate unique passwords, and all you have to remember is one password. Your data is stored in blockstack, so the entire app is actually like a UI. And if a better UI ever comes along, then you can change to that. Data stored there is encrypted using your key. So login via blockstack. And you don't have to trust us. Normal password managers are stored in a centralized server. So if it goes down , all your passwords are gone or get hacked (which has happened numerous times https://password-managers.bestre...) Safeguard can act as storage for your passwords. 1. Store and autofill your passwords: Save all your passwords at one place and autofill them with ease using a browser extension. 2. Generate secure passwords: Keeping the same password for all websites is risky and then there is the task of remembering them. Safeguard generates new passwords every time based on your desired level of strength. 3. Decentralized and Secure: All the passwords are in block stack decentralised storage. https://blockstack.org/ The extension is now free and available on the chrome store.

@gauthamzzz Hey Gautham, would you like to share Safeguard on Dapp.com?
Gautham Santhosh
@jun_gong yeah sure.

This is a great idea. However, I would like to see a Firefox extension more than a Chrome. Privacy focused community uses Firefox and Brave. There is a "No To Chrome" movement already going on. https://notochrome.org/
Gautham Santhosh
@wilsonbright If you are using firefox use this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... and add it to your browser If you use Opera you can use this https://addons.opera.com/en/exte... and install on your browser. Right now I am a solo maker, hence now focusing on minimizing bugs and give a great User experience. When its done, will push into Firefox. Till then please try with this and share youre feedback. Hope you can understand.

@wilsonbright @gauthamzzz supporting Firefox as well is relatively straightforward. This should get you most of the way there: https://github.com/mozilla/webex...

It's completely useless if not a scam if the code is not open source. What kinda idiot would use this?
Gautham Santhosh
@fluidvoice we are working on some changes and will opensource soon. Most password managers are not OSS. The documentation is not ready. The extension code is anyway readable by anyone since chrome store allows anyone to do that.

@gauthamzzz Maybe it's true for Windows? It's certainly not true for Linux. >> https://www.fossmint.com/linux-p... In any case, the whole point of PW managers is strict security. How can this be ensured with closed source? It's a rediculous notion and a question that should not need to be asked. Nobody serious about security would use a closed source PWM.
Gautham Santhosh
@fluidvoice most of these don't have code in GitHub. It's just that they support Linux. Yes we are considering open sourcing very soon .

@gauthamzzz Look, I'm not gonna do all your homework for you but I just checked the one I have installed (KeepassXC) that comes in my Linux app manager and it is indeed on github >> https://github.com/keepassxreboo...
Brad 🎙️🌩️
@gauthamzzz That said. If you open source it, then I think the app will become very popular as an easy to use PWM with private key auth (Blockstack) is certainly something needed. Sorry to be a PITA, but password security must be taken seriously.
