Overview
What is PearPass?
PearPass is an open-source privacy-first password and identity manager that gives you full control over your sensitive information. It makes storing and managing your credentials simple, secure, and private, with all data encrypted and stored locally on your device. Unlike traditional password managers, PearPass is built on the Pear Runtime and leverages peer-to-peer technologies to sync your credentials, ensuring they remain private, secure, and always under your control.
Why PearPass?
PearPass was built to solve key challenges in digital security and password management. Traditional password managers rely on centralized servers that can be vulnerable to breaches and unauthorized access, and they often replicate your data without giving you any visibility or control over it. PearPass takes a different approach, keeping your data encrypted, stored securely on your device, and fully private at all times.
