CarryPass is a privacy-first password manager that works entirely in your browser.

Zero-knowledge, no storage: everything is generated deterministically using Argon2 + PBKDF2 + AES-CTR

Vaults (admin, member, team) are encrypted with AES-GCM

No sync, no telemetry, no backend – it's all client-side

TOTP-based onboarding for teams

Built as a PWA, works offline on any device

Open source: https://github.com/racz-zoltan/racz-zoltan.github.io

Would love feedback from the HN community on the crypto model, UX, and real-world use.

Thanks for checking out CarryPass — I built it to offer a stateless, offline-first alternative to traditional password managers.

How it works: - Passwords are generated deterministically from service name + master password + user-configured strength using Argon2 + PBKDF2 + AES-CTR - Vaults (team, admin, member) are encrypted using AES-GCM, fully client-side - No cloud, no sync, no telemetry — everything runs in your browser as a PWA - Team configs can be distributed securely with TOTP-based onboarding and QR support

Would love your feedback — especially from the HN crowd — on the cryptographic design, UX, or suggestions for improving the onboarding experience.
