How PASSsafer Protects Your Passwords
PASSsafer is designed with your security and privacy as its core principles. Instead of storing your sensitive information on a third-party cloud server, this app uses a decentralized approach that puts you in full control of your data. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its key features:
1. Robust Local-First Encryption
When you save a new password, PASSsafer immediately encrypts it using your birthday. This personalized key, combined with robust encryption algorithms, creates a powerful shield around your data. Because the encryption happens directly on your device, your passwords are never stored in a plain text format.
2. No Third-Party Cloud
PASSsafer ensures your information never leaves your device. This offline-first design eliminates the risk of a third-party data breach, as there's no central server for hackers to target. Your passwords remain exclusively on your phone, giving you peace of mind that your private information stays private.
3. Secure and Private Backups
While your data is primarily stored on your device, PASSsafer provides a seamless and secure backup solution through your own Google one. This process is not a "sync" in the traditional sense, but a secure backup of your encrypted data to your personal cloud storage. This means you can restore your passwords to a new device anytime you want, without needing to worry about a data breach.
