I just (like today) started working on an open-source, self-hosted, e2e encrypted, and free password manager.

I’m writing the backend in Go, with a standard API layer to allow custom frontends. I will also be building “official” frontends for mobile apps, desktop apps, and browser extensions.

The main reason I’m doing this is because I don’t like the UI of other self-hosted password managers, and I hate relying on the security of cloud options.

Seeing as I just started work on it today, I don’t have much (not even a real name). If you want to follow along, heres the Github, https://github.com/dickeyy/passwords

My goal for this project is to provide teams and individuals with the ability to secure their passwords while also providing a clean and elegant experience.

LMK what you think!
