🙌 I've done it
I've added a password manager to the platform. Why did it take so long?
Cause it was hard, that's why.
The password manager has been in the works since the beginning.
I've been using LastPass in parallel with Anonacy ever since I made my first alias. I'd make the alias, switch over to LastPass, generate a password, and store it there. I always wanted to just have a password come with the alias.
But..
Storing passwords is no joke. I needed to make sure I built it right. So I looked at what other password managers did, and then replicated it. It took a long time.
There were plenty of compromises made. You can only set one master password. You can't change it. It's different than your account password. But damn it, it's secure.
I had to learn new hashing and encryption algorithms. I then had to implement them. I had to get really confused. Then I had to get un-confused.
I implemented a PGP system. It stands for "Pretty Good Privacy". And it is pretty good.
Yes, it's a real protocol, I swear. You can read about it here.
It'll be out soon.
