AltPass is a local-first password manager. Your vault is a single encrypted KDBX file that lives in YOUR cloud (OneDrive) or on your device — there are no AltPass servers, no accounts to create, and no telemetry. Everything happens on your device: your master password never leaves it, and encryption and matching run locally. FEATURES • Passwords, one-time codes (TOTP) and passkeys in one encrypted vault • System AutoFill — fill logins and passkeys across apps and websites • Strong password generator • Import from Bitwarden, CSV and other KeePass apps • Sync through your own OneDrive, or keep a purely local file — your choice • Face ID / Touch ID unlock • Merge duplicate accounts, field by field OPEN FORMAT, NO LOCK-IN Your vault is a standard KDBX4 file. It opens as-is in KeePassXC, KeePassDX, Strongbox and KeePassium, so your data is always yours. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No ads. The developer never sees your data — the optional sync talks directly to your own cloud storage.
