Why Choose PassCryp?

Most password managers were built ten years ago for a different web. PassCryp is a clean-sheet, zero-knowledge vault with modern crypto, fair pricing, and first-class support for the things developers and small teams actually store — including API keys, SSH keys, and per-environment secrets.

Start your free vault Security model

Independent, not a conglomerate

No private equity, no parent company selling adjacent ad-tech. We build one thing and we build it well.

Argon2id by default

Memory-hard key derivation that defeats GPU brute force. Many competitors still ship PBKDF2 on legacy accounts.

Free tier is genuinely usable

100 items, unlimited devices, browser extension, generator, TOTP, breach monitor. No 'free tier' that pushes you to pay.

Built for devs

First-class API keys, SSH keys, environment tagging, expiry alerts. A CLI in beta. An open-source extension.

Fair, flat pricing

Premium is $2.99/month forever. No multi-year contracts to get the advertised price. No surprise enterprise quotes.

What we actively chose not to build

PassCryp is not a 200-person enterprise IAM platform. We don't ship SCIM provisioning, SAML federation, or on-prem secret gateways. Those features cost real engineering and require real enterprise contracts to monetize — money that comes from somewhere, usually a higher per-seat price for everyone else.

We chose to focus on the 95% case: individuals, freelancers, indie hackers, and small teams up to ~50 seats. Everything we ship serves that audience first. If you outgrow us, every major manager imports an encrypted export — your data is portable by design.

What we choose to do well

Encryption. Argon2id at OWASP-recommended parameters, AES-256-GCM with fresh nonces, per-row RLS in the database, recovery kits without server-side knowledge. The threat model is published in a security whitepaper, and the browser extension is open source so you can audit the unlock flow.

Developer ergonomics. Provider presets for AWS, Stripe, OpenAI, GitHub, Vercel, Supabase. Per-environment tags. Expiry alerts that fire 7 days out. A CLI that never writes plaintext to disk. Import wizards that respect your time.

Honest copy. No 'military-grade encryption' marketing. No 'we use 256-bit encryption' when we mean AES-128 in the small print. Specifics published, primitives named, parameters disclosed.

Who PassCryp is not for

If you need SCIM-provisioned SSO for 500 employees, an audit-firm-friendly SOC2 Type II report, or 24/7 phone support with an SLA, you should buy 1Password Business or Bitwarden Enterprise. We won't fit your purchasing process.

Everyone else — solo developers, indie teams, families, freelancers, students — we built this for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is PassCryp open source?

The browser extension is. The core vault uses a documented zero-knowledge architecture published in our security whitepaper, with the schema, key-derivation parameters, and threat model in the open.

How is PassCryp different from 1Password?

Cheaper, more focused on developers and individuals, with first-class API key storage. We don't ship SAML SSO or SCIM — buy 1Password if you need those.

How is PassCryp different from LastPass?

Modern Argon2id KDF instead of LastPass's legacy PBKDF2, no breach history, browser extension on the free tier, and unlimited devices on free.

Is PassCryp safe for production secrets?

Yes. Production secrets encrypt client-side with AES-256-GCM and never sync in plaintext. The CLI fetches secrets without writing them to disk.

What if PassCryp shuts down?

Encrypted JSON export at any time. Your data is portable to 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, Keeper, or any standards-compliant manager.

Where is PassCryp data stored?

EU and US regions on hardened Postgres with per-row Row-Level Security. See our sub-processors list for the full hosting stack.
