KeyForge vs PassPony

KeyForge — Forge your passwords. Remember only two things. Stop memorizing dozens of complex passwords. KeyForge generates strong, unique passwords on demand using just two pieces of information you already know — a Master Key and a Unique Key. HOW IT WORKS Master Key: One secret key that never changes. Use it for every site. Unique Key: A simple identifier for each site — like "amazon" or "gmail". Changes per site, easy to remember. Type both into KeyForge, tap Generate, and get a strong unique password every time. Same inputs always produce the same password — no storage needed. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No passwords are ever stored or transmitted - You are the only one who can recreate your passwords - Passwords cannot be reverse engineered to find your keys - Master Key and Unique Key are case sensitive - Works without a password manager — but pairs great with one - Password rotation built in — add a version label when needed KeyForge puts you in control. Your keys, your passwords, your security.

PassPony is a password manager for people who want to own their passwords. Every entry is one encrypted file in a store you control, in the same format as the pass and passage command line tools. Your Mac, your server, and your phone can all work on the same store. WHY A FILE-BASED STORE One entry, one file: the password on the first line, anything else after it. Encrypted with your keys: age identities for passage stores, OpenPGP keys for pass stores. Synced with git: clone your existing store, publish a new one, and resolve conflicts per entry, never with a silent merge. Interoperable: commits match the pass CLI format, so the store stays fully usable from the desktop tools. EVERYDAY USE QuickType autofill: your passes appear above the keyboard when you sign in. Only entry names are indexed; nothing decrypts until you fill. Live one-time codes: entries with an otpauth line show a TOTP code with a countdown ring. Face ID or Touch ID unlock, with a five-minute grace window shared with autofill. Ephemeral clipboard: copies are local only and clear after 45 seconds. Field-level editing that preserves the exact bytes of lines it does not touch. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account, no signup, no PassPony server. The only network connection is the git remote you configure. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Open source, Apache-2.0. The full app and its Rust core are published in a public git repository for anyone to audit. FORMATS passage stores encrypt with modern age identities. pass stores encrypt with OpenPGP keys (Cv25519 and X25519/Ed25519 in software). RSA-keyed stores need a smartcard, which is not supported yet. Each format keeps its own store; switching never touches the other. Localized in English, Spanish, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian. If you already run pass or passage, PassPony is the missing phone half of your setup. If you have never used them, the first-run tour will have you adding your first pass in about a minute.
