# OffPass Desktop
Desktop application of OffPass
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.
