WTF should I do in?

Maker

Hi Product Hunt 👋😺 I started building BLOCKVAULT during the #24hrstartup Challenge a couple weeks ago. The product wasn't quite ready for launch at the time due to time restrictions, but it sparked some interest. The wait is over, it's finally ready for your try now! You're now wondering what makes BLOCKVAULT different from all the other password managers? The short answer is: it's enhanced by the power of Blockstack. Blockstack is a suit of tools to build DApps that offers 3 major advantages: Authentication, Encryption and Distributed Storage. On the Blockstack ecosystem users keep a single universal identity (a combination of username and key) registered directly on Bitcoin’s blockchain. All data associated with that identity stays with it, this means applications or central authorities do not keep or control access to your data. On top of that, users decide where to store their data and which applications can read or write to your. This makes BLOCKVAULT: ▲ Secure: the app runs exclusively on your device (client-side). There are no central servers that can be hacked or breached. ▲ Decentralized: you control where your data is hosted. We do not store or replicate user data. ▲ Encrypted: your data is end-to-end encrypted with keys that only you hold. ▲ Shareable: be sure that only you and your teammates have access to your passwords and logins. Give it a try and fire away any questions you may have in the comments. Thank you for the support ❤️ Bruno

@brunohq please educate me. If I have just one physical place - there will be no backup if I lost the device, right? Also I have to have both devices with an app open to sync 100%? Or the vault located in iCloud but encrypted?

@vladkorobov thank you for your question! The storage should always be accessible. Blockstack allows you store your data on the storage provider of your choice (Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, IPFS) or setup your own. Either way, your data is encrypted-decrypted on your browser with your key, before being sent to the storage provider. Regarding backups, right now, there are no automatic backups, but Blockstack has plans to let users set up a second storage provider as a backup. Did I answer your question?

Cool... looks awesome! Are there any plans for desktop/mobile apps and browser extensions? I really hope so. Cheers

@filipepina thank you! For sure - we kickstarted it with the web version, but it's on the roadmap for 2019 to launch the extension first, desktop and mobile apps later. 👊

Passwords and credit cards are very sensitive information. Could you explain a bit better how does this work: Do you control where your data is hosted? Do I need to setup my own data storage server?

@franciscora Blockstack allows you store your data on the provider of your choice (Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, IPFS) or directly on Blockstack’s default storage (Gaia). Either way, your data is encrypted-decrypted on your browser with your key, before being sent to the storage provider.

Was just about to sign my family up for 1Password, I'm glad I waited! Can't wait to use this. With the new version being released later this week, will that be a production-ready version that can be used by teams and families? I know it says not to use it with any critical information right now, so don't want to use it with any sensitive info like passwords and credit card numbers. Also, can a family account be created with certain vaults for each person, allowing only certain passwords to be shared between everyone?

Nice app :) So how exactly does like paid plans work? If it's decentralized surely there's no way for you to "add things" to my account if I'm the holder of the data?

Any plans for an Android app? Use Lastpass right now and would love to use this, but need an easy way to login to apps/sites on my phone like Lastpass has.

Our company will begin using this as soon as the "This is an ALPHA version, for testing purposes only. Please don't store any critical data yet" portion of the site is gone and it's ready to go :)
