⚡️🔐 NEW - Tether announces the launch of PearPass, a peer-to-peer password manager.
The application does not rely on cloud servers, with all credentials stored locally on users' devices and synchronized between devices via encrypted peer-to-peer connections.
PearPass is open source and has undergone an independent security audit by a third party.

Can't wait for them to open source #keet, and make it more polished too
Not bad but in the end why trusting a new player in this field and not use solutions proven from years like Keepass (XC) for local password storage + Syncthing for peer 2 peer encrypted sync between devices ?
Yeah true. Keepass allows customization down the the cipher choice and salt level. Hard to beat that.
Sync is still not the best, it would be great if keet would just solve the file storage and sync across devices.
Not sure if they have a solution for that for Android.
What is not great with Sync ? The protocol? The reliability ? UX ?
To be honest I don't use it anymore as I run my own nextcloud and sync from it, but Nextcloud is really below in term of efficiency and reliability to sync and even one way back, especially for large folders like the camera one.
I almost hesitate to setup again Syncthing at least for photo and large data backup between devices. What I love is that it's supported on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, many NAS OS...
I almost never user Keet beside at Tether's Plan ₿ conference, but it looks far from polished, far from universally supported. And if it's not even open source yet, what's the point of bothering ?
Keepass is great at syncing itself and merging conflicts (although I don't know how it works exactly so it makes me nervous), but it requires you to have a shared platform if you want access to it on multiple devices.
You can use a cloud, but at least on my GrapheneOS phone and Linux laptop with a desire to use open source code as much as possible, the UX is terrible and it requires user accounts too.
Syncthing is supposed to be good, but I never got it to work properly.
I get your point with Keet. I'm also waiting for open source.
I also think they are running a large server and that is the main reason why it works smoothly in general.
I've used the holesail app and it used to be unreliable, it has gotten better, but I think it is because Keet built out their own servers to make up for a lack of (quality?) participants in the network.
Great idea, but too bad this couldn’t be somehow tied to an existing open source project like keepass.
