About lockpass
Lockpass is a locally stored password manager designed for personal use. It addresses security concerns by avoiding server storage, keeping encrypted data on the user's device instead. The tool was created as an alternative to cloud-based password managers, with a focus on individual control over sensitive data.
The software uses a dual-password system combining a user-remembered master password with a randomly generated 25-character key. Data is encrypted locally using AES-256-CBC encryption before being stored in a SQLite database. The manager supports various password-related functions while maintaining all information offline unless manually backed up to a cloud service.
