OffPass, a special password manager. All your passwords are not stored in an encrypted container but offline.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We all, maybe, wrote/write our passwords down, on paper. The problem: If someone finds them he can also read your
|
||||||
|
passwords. If you use an traditional passwords manager, a hacker could make a copy of your encrypted cointainer
|
||||||
|
and brute-force till he gets access (which is still unlikly to happen).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An attack would need access to your place where you hide your papers. Also make sure your computer or
|
||||||
|
phone is not infected by any malware because then an attacker would be still able to see your scanned passwords.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We not say that using a traditional password manager is unsafe, this is just another variant of a password manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You're also able to store your 2FA secrets. Once scanned you'll see your codes generating. In that moment where
|
||||||
|
you close the application or the "keep remembering for" timer expires, your scanned passwords will be wiped from
|
||||||
|
memory and they only can be accessed offline.
