Private by design

  • Open your Windows vault without an internet connection.
  • Move an encrypted vault file between Windows and the web.
  • Choose your own backup location. Sync is optional.

A storage model - not an automatic backup. Save and verify your copies.

More than a password manager

Bring logins, private notes, cards, and other sensitive records into one encrypted vault you control. Organize and search them easily, autofill supported sites, review password health, and keep a backup where you choose.

More than passwords

Keep logins, private notes, payment cards, and attachments in one encrypted vault. Add identities, keys, and other sensitive records when you need them.

Browser autofill

Fill supported websites from your unlocked vault with the Chrome or Firefox extension. You choose which browsers to pair and can revoke access.

Security Center

Spot weak or reused passwords, duplicate entries, and expiring records. Jump straight to the items that need attention.

Find it faster

Organize records with folders, tags, and favorites. Search across record fields and use keyboard shortcuts for common actions.

Windows Hello

Enable face, fingerprint, or device PIN unlock for a vault on Windows. Your master password remains the fallback.

Backup and recovery

Export an encrypted copy and create a recovery kit. Keep a verified backup separate from your device, ready if you need it.

Getting started with Passary password manager

Create a vault, add your records, and set up an encrypted backup.

Choose an app

Install Passary for Windows or open the web app in a modern browser.

Create or import

Start fresh, open an existing .passaryvault file, or import supported data from KeePass, Bitwarden, or Google Password Manager.

Unlock locally

Your master password and optional keyfile unlock the vault on your device. Lock the vault when you finish.

Save and back up

Add records, enable optional browser autofill, and save an encrypted backup on separate storage.

Import your passwords

You don’t have to start from scratch. Bring supported records from your current manager into Passary. Imports are processed on your device.

Keep your original database until you have checked your imported records. Protect exported files: some formats contain unencrypted passwords.

Security model

Your vault stays under your control, but strong security still depends on how you use it. Passary encrypts your data locally; trusted devices, strong credentials, and verified backups complete the picture.

Local protections

  • Your vault stays where you choosePassary does not keep your vault in a provider-hosted database. Store the encrypted file on your device or storage you control.
  • Your secrets stay out of our reachYour master password and optional keyfile are used locally to unlock the vault. Passary cannot view your decrypted data or reset those credentials.
  • Private work does not require a connectionOpen and manage your Windows vault without signing in to a Passary account or depending on an internet connection.
  • Connections are your decisionExternal sync destinations and browser integrations are optional; you choose when to set them up.

Security limits

  • An unlocked vault depends on a trusted deviceMalware or an untrusted browser extension may read sensitive data while you use it.
  • Your master password still mattersA weak or reused password is easier to guess, even when the vault uses a strong key-derivation algorithm.
  • Lock your screen when you step awaySomeone with access to an unlocked computer or vault may be able to view your records.
  • Recovery is yours to prepareIf you lose required credentials or a keyfile, or every usable vault copy, Passary cannot restore your data.

Choose how to start

Install the Windows app for everyday use, or explore Passary in your browser. The same vault format works in both.

Frequently asked questions

Storage, recovery, compatibility, and release status.

Does Passary upload my passwords?

No. Passary does not operate a provider vault for your data. The Windows app uses encrypted files you control; the web app stores its encrypted snapshot in your browser unless you explicitly export or configure another destination.

What if I forget my master password?

Passary cannot reset it or decrypt the vault for you. Windows Hello can make routine unlocks easier after enrollment, but your master password and any required keyfile remain the durable credentials. Create and verify a recovery plan.

Can I use the same vault on Windows and the web?

Yes. The current apps share the V3 vault format. You can export or move an encrypted .passaryvault file and open it in the other app. Keep a backup before migrations or major changes.

Does it work with browser extensions?

Yes. Passary has Chrome and Firefox extension builds that pair with an unlocked local vault for supported fill, save, update, and TOTP workflows. Public store distribution is still moving through external review and signing steps.

Can Passary sync between devices?

There is no mandatory Passary account sync. You can move encrypted vault files yourself or configure one of the explicit encrypted sync destinations available in the app. You remain responsible for the destination and recovery.

What is the current release status?

Passary is available as a free preview under active development. Signed distribution, extension store availability, and additional platform support are in progress. See the release notes for current availability and limitations.

Is a local vault right for me?

Passary suits people who want control over their vault files and are comfortable keeping backups. If you need provider-assisted recovery, managed family or team administration, or automatic sync everywhere without file handling, consider whether a managed service better fits your needs.
