There is no central infrastructure to target, no hidden storage, and no third-party access. Key Features Device-Only Storage Your passwords are stored locally on your devices, not in the cloud. You decide which devices have access. PearPass never uploads or stores your data externally. Peer-to-Peer Sync Secure syncing between your own devices without using a central server. Your data moves directly and securely between devices you control. End-to-End Encryption All data is encrypted using proven cryptographic primitives from Libsodium. No one else can access or read your vault—not even us. Open Source and Independently Audited PearPass is fully open source and has been independently reviewed by Secfault Security, a respected firm specializing in cryptography and offensive security.

Password Generator Generate strong, unique passwords with one tap. Reduce the risks of reused or weak credentials. Minimal and Fast PearPass is lightweight, efficient, and designed for users who value both privacy and simplicity. Why Local Storage Matters In 2025, a single data breach leaked over 16 billion credentials. Cloud-based password managers, regardless of their security, rely on centralized systems that remain high-value targets for attackers. PearPass removes this risk entirely. With no cloud storage and no backend infrastructure, your data stays where it belongs—on your devices. PearPass is free to use, fully transparent, and built for users who demand control over their digital security. Your passwords are yours. Keep them safe, private, and fully in your hands.
