An Android password manager that rebuilds its vault key on the device instead of storing a readable copy anywhere.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The site explains a multi-shard vault-key design in operational sequence rather than relying only on a zero-knowledge label. The passcode is processed locally with Argon2id using 128 MiB of memory and 10 passes, while a shard generated in Android StrongBox or a trusted execution environment remains non-exportable. Passwords are described as decrypted only during use, with the assembled key wiped afterward.
