Title: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: etherpass on September 20, 2017, 11:16:22 PM BLOCKCHAIN-POWERED PASSWORD MANAGER LEVERAGED BY ETHEREUM SMART-CONTRACTS AND E2E CRYPTOGRAPHY WE ARE LEVERAGING TRANSPARENCY AND RELIABILITY OF ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN TO MAKE ETHERPASS THE MOST TRUSTED PASSWORD MANAGER mail | etherpass@protonmail.com telegram | https://t.me/etherpass (https://t.me/etherpass) HOW IT WORKS Etherpass utilises Ethereum smart-contracts and end-2-end cryptography to store your passwords and secrets in the most secure way which means you are the only owner of your data. Neither we nor any other third-parties have access to your secrets. All of our cryptography routines is fully open-sourced and available on https://github.com/etherpass (https://github.com/etherpass). AVAILABILITY AND SYNCHRONIZATION Since the blockchain is fully distributed all your data is auto-replicated and auto-synchronized across all your machines. Etherpass nature has no hard dependency on networking, meaning its possible to grab your data even if our services will go down - never worry about data losses anymore! FEATURES
MOTIVATION All of us were struggling with many password manager tools/vaults before. Whats wrong with them? They are definitely great tools but there some unclear points for us. Remember the last time you were trying to set up a new device to access all your passwords or keys? Either you struggle with signing up and setting up a cloud storage to make the synchronization working or you have extra costs for infrastructure maintenance and synchronization. Not a clear experience, right? But wait, where do my passwords go when those cloud storage go down? Hmm Ok, I only have two devices right now, so synchronization is not really a big concern for me. But how do I make sure that password managers I use stores my sensitive data in the most reliable and secure way? Should I trust them? What if an irritated employee was just fired (oops)? How are my secrets actually stored? How are they protected from attacks? Well... Ok, I have been using some (password manager) tool for a long time and I actually trust it! But what will happen if it will outage or the team decides to no longer maintain the project? We are aiming to bring a better experience! TEAM We are blockchain enthusiasts trying to rethink password/secrets management industry.
CURRENT STATUS Smart-contracts are in active development and available on Github https://github.com/etherpass/etherpass.contracts. We are pre-ANN and currently working on our cross-platform desktop client. ROADMAP

Are you planning an ICO? If so how much are you looking to raise. Or minimum?
Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: Dutchyyy on September 20, 2017, 11:56:35 PM I will review the github repo when I have some time. It's good that you are starting with something working and open-source. What do you plan to be your source of income?
And I think this is kind of overrated until you get some user base: Quote Summary Etherpass is the most trusted password manager of the 21st century.

We are aiming to run an ICO in a next few months. Most ICO details like fundraising, white paper and detailed roadmap are in progress now and not finalised yet. We'll keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: wendelllee on September 21, 2017, 03:11:42 AM Looks very good! I have more than 200 passwords and it's impossible to remember them. So I note down all of them on my notebook but it's not convenient to use them.
So, good project, to make it come true. Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: Cryptoby on September 21, 2017, 03:36:33 AM Maybe a good project ...
... but I do not trust passwort managers generally till now ... ;D Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: etherpass on September 21, 2017, 10:09:01 AM looks like interesting project do you have plan for the bounty campaign, I think it is a good promotion We are aiming ICO right now but also considering bug bounty campaigns.

I think that your project is doomed to success. And that's why. It's no secret that many have a few accounts that have their bindings. A few wallets. But, the question arises. You write that you will not have access to, say, my data, but how do I know that one day I will not end up in a broken trough?

Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: gawajn on September 21, 2017, 10:47:27 AM Since you cant delete data on the blockchains, what happens if you need to change your passwort?
Also is it possible to delete them or are jou hust "hiding" them? Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: etherpass on September 21, 2017, 12:18:22 PM Guys.

Quote how do I know that one day I will not end up in a broken trough The nature of blockchain implies that blocks are immutable at a given moment in time.This means that you can retrieve your password from any point in past or present in the exact same form it was saved, while read/write operations are protected by your own private key encryption.

Also is it possible to delete them or are jou hust "hiding" them? Updating and removing passwords is an essential feature. However, old passwords will still be stored in the chain prior to a block with delete/update operation. These entries are still protected by your private key encryption - only an owner of such a key can see them. Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: itasannah on September 21, 2017, 01:36:11 PM Interesting concept, having a password manager for the any of or wallet that will make live easier when we have may different crypto currency. Having this tool will help us a lot to manage all of them.
Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: AmoreJaz on September 21, 2017, 01:42:56 PM i guess i am a bit too old school! i dont see any utility in this whatsoever,but i am speaking for myself only!
Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: etherpass on September 21, 2017, 02:02:22 PM Maybe a good project ... ... but I do not trust passwort managers generally till now ... ;D Etherpass is the next-gen password manager meaning it's opposite to the traditional approach where the data is persisted on the service/company_behind_password_manager side. We use blockchain as our persistent storage plus we open-source all of our development. Hope it will give you more trust to us :) Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: TimeTeller on September 21, 2017, 03:29:13 PM "Ok, I have been using some (password manager) tool for a long time and I actually trust it!

That's really possible to happen. So that's the challenge. Sometimes it's too difficult to trust your passwords to anyone else. And of course, this one is also prone to cyber attacks. We can't say that it's not.

Etherpass provides several methods to retrieve stored data regardless of service availability: 1) Etherpass has an "offline" mode, which uses special software addons to emulate Etherpass server on a user's personal machine, which has same capabilities as a remote one. 2) Advanced users can retrieve their data from own or a public Ethereum node with all the encryption metadata. Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: etherpass on September 21, 2017, 07:41:37 PM Maybe a good project ... ... but I do not trust passwort managers generally till now ... ;D The core idea of Etherpass is not to reinvent a password storage as an utility concept. We are focusing on innovating the way resilience, scale and reliability are implemented within such services. Also you should definitely try to use a password manager - it's a huge productivity boost and sometimes a life saver! :) Title: Re: [pre-ANN] Etherpass the most trusted password manager Post by: msemenov on September 22, 2017, 02:00:41 PM I use Trezor's pass manager, it's not really well-made and lacks functionality, but at least I do not need to generate and store master passwords.
Hope your project will go live, we all lack good pass managers on the blockchain.
