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.

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 it’s possible to grab your data even if our services will go down - never worry about data losses anymore!

FEATURES

• Auto-synchronized.
• Forever persisted.
• Protected with e2e cryptography.
• Open-sourced.
• Pay-as-you store billing – one-time payment per secret entry, no monthly pays.

MOTIVATION
All of us were struggling with many password manager tools/vaults before. What’s 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.

• Sergey – 2+ years on working with the Blockchain, backend guru with more than 10 years experience.
• Roman – 5+ years of developing high-performant financial applications, Ethereum adopter since it’s raise.
• Aleksandr – Web developer since 1x1 pixel gifs, 3+ years in product management.
• Artyom – 5+ years experience in Web development. Trying to make frontend developers happier bringing the brilliant devops solutions in the last 2 years.

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

• Smart-contracts, stable release.
• Desktop app.
• Imports from other password managers.
• Browser extensions.
• Native mobile apps.
• CLI.
• Secure single sign-on.
• AD integration, SAML.
• Blockchain-powered Identity and Access management.

What are you plans for this project? Are you planning an ICO? If so how much are you looking to raise. Or minimum?

[Dutchyyy]

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:

Summary
Etherpass is the most trusted password manager of the 21st century.

Hi there!

We are working now on:

• Smart contacts stable release
• Cross-platform desktop client
• Preparing an ICO

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!

looks like interesting project do you have plan for the bounty campaign, I think it is a good promotion

All right. Thank you very much. I'll take a look at it when the time comes.

It is suggested that some campaigns or aerial activities be released to increase interaction, because the community is not lively, and practical cooperation is a good start

[wendelllee]

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.

[Cryptoby]

Maybe a good project ...

... but I do not trust passwort managers generally till now ...

We are aiming ICO right now but also considering bug bounty campaigns.

thanks, we'll give it a shot

Guys. 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?

[toyo87]

Waiting for the Main announcement

[gawajn]

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?

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.

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.

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.

i guess i am a bit too old school! i dont see any utility in this whatsoever,but i am speaking for myself only!

[etherpass]

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

"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?"

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.
