Most password managers ask you to trust their cloud. Tengen flips that — your passwords never leave your network, ever. Tengen is a self-hostable, open source password manager built for people who take privacy seriously. Everything is encrypted at rest, runs entirely on your own machine. and the full source code is open for anyone to audit. No subscriptions, no telemetry, no third-party servers handling your sensitive data. It gives you complete ownership. You run it, you control it, you own it.

Hey! 👋 I'm Pavan, the developer behind Tengen.
Tengen is a self-hostable, open source password manager — your passwords stay on your machine, encrypted at rest, never touching a third-party server.
I built this because I wanted a password manager I could fully trust and audit myself. After the LastPass breach and seeing how many "secure" password managers still phone home, I wanted something where the answer to "where is my data?" is always "on my machine."
What it is:
React + FastAPI + SQLite stack
Single docker-compose up to self-host
Encrypted vault at rest
HIBP integration to check if your passwords have been exposed
Active security scanning via Gitleaks, Bandit, Semgrep and pip-audit on every commit
What it isn't:
A Bitwarden replacement (yet) — this is an early release and I'm actively building
Cloud hosted — by design
I'd love feedback on the security model especially. The code is fully open, so tear it apart — that's the point.
