Best Open-Source Password Managers

Who this guide is for

Individuals and teams researching password storage or secrets-management options.

How we selected these projects

The list includes established public repositories directly related to password management. Inclusion is not a security endorsement; readers must inspect current security documentation and advisories.

GitHub stars are useful popularity signals, but they are not guarantees of quality, security, maintenance, or suitability.

Key considerations

• Prefer projects with documented threat models, security contacts, and prompt update channels.
• Understand recovery, export, synchronization, and multi-factor authentication behavior.
• Protect the device and browser environment where decrypted secrets are used.

Limitations

• This guide performs no cryptographic audit.
• Repository metadata cannot establish the security of hosted services or builds.

This guide is informational, uses changeable public GitHub data, and is not a security audit, legal opinion, or endorsement. Always review the repository, license, dependencies, and current documentation yourself.
