AlgoPass

World's first password manager powered by the Algorand blockchain

AlgoPass - Password Manager on Algorand Blockchain

AlgoPass is the world's first password manager powered by the Algorand blockchain. It securely and conveniently stores sensitive data using the note field of zero-ALGO transactions. With AlgoPass, users no longer need to trust service providers with their data, as the decentralized nature of the Algorand blockchain removes the need for trust. The extension generates an Algorand account, encrypts the passwords with the user's mnemonic passphrase, and stores the encrypted data in the browser. The Algorand blockchain ensures there is no single point of failure for attackers. Users pay a small fee, 1 milliALGO, to cover the transaction costs. AlgoPass also has plans for auto-saving and auto-filling passwords, as well as editing and deleting entries in upcoming updates.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

AlgoPass is an open-source password manager that leverages the Algorand blockchain to securely & conveniently store your sensitive data. It uses the note field of zero-ALGO transactions to store your usernames and passwords (which are encrypted with your mnemonic passphrase).

Why is it special?

When you use a traditional password manager, you need to trust that the service provider has secure servers and that they have no intention of selling your data.

Using the Algorand blockchain as a password manager completely removes this requirement of trust: the only person you need to trust is yourself. Its superior decentralized nature also ensures there is no single point of failure for malicious attackers to target.

How does it work?

Everything happens in your browser and on the Algorand blockchain. When you first install the AlgoPass extension, an Algorand account is generated - the secret key for this account is encrypted using your master password and stored in your browser.

The secret key serves two purposes:

Encrypting the note field of your transactions (which contains your passwords to be saved)

User reviews

Love the idea of a password manager being built behind a decentralized blockchain with zero downtime in its entire existence. A couple of updates I think that would help would be random generation of passwords, as well as not just passwords but private notes and things a like
