WebVault: Secure Password Manager for Chrome
WebVault is a simple and secure password manager browser extension for Chrome. Developed by zookatron, this free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
WebVault is designed for individuals who value the safety and flexibility of the Vault password system but dislike the inconvenience of interrupting their browsing flow to access their passwords. With WebVault, you can easily generate and manage your website passwords without leaving your current page.
The extension remembers your service names and password options for each site, allowing you to autofill your passwords after unlocking your vault with your passphrase. Retrieving a password is as simple as clicking the WebVault icon, entering your passphrase, and hitting autofill - all without needing to switch pages.
One of the key features of WebVault is its strong security measures. Your passphrase is never stored on disk and only exists in sandboxed JavaScript memory for a limited amount of time while the extension is open. Additionally, your service data and preferences are encrypted using AES and saved using the Web Storage Sync API. This enables you to access your encrypted data anywhere by logging into your browser, either through Firefox Sync or a Google account. For added security, you also have the option to sync your data to a RemoteStorage account, where it can only be decoded with your passphrase.
Overall, WebVault provides a convenient and secure solution for managing passwords while browsing the web. With its user-friendly interface and robust security measures, it is a valuable tool for individuals seeking to enhance their online security.
