## Description

A different way to look at password managers. Derives website-specific passwords from a single master password. No network access, no stored passwords — everything is computed locally on demand via PBKDF2/HKDF. Per-domain options only; back up/restore via clipboard. Same master + options reproduce passwords anywhere.
