And what should replace it? Rust? Cargo? Oops. (I believe 1Password uses Rust for security-sensitive parts too, btw.) I'd genuinely like to know what the correct tech stack for a password manager is today because using the right one is important to my current endeavor.
Regardless at Uno we're working on a password manager with a native app and rust core. It's geared more towards everyday consumers than power HN users, but you might find it interesting. The rust core including api server is open source right now because that's one point where we diverge from 1P. Whatever tech stack you choose, it needs to be openly auditable so that the community can collectively ensure it remains secure. https://github.com/withuno/identity
Is there anyone here with a counter argument? Has a security review been performed on each dependency? Any reason to think my fear is unfounded?
