I still don’t get why password managers builders think it’s a great idea to store MFA token together with the password, totally defeating the purpose of MFA in the first place.
A vibe-coded password-manager? Sure! where do i sign up?
How does it compare to KeePassXC?
KeePassXC is definitely much more mature right now. I mean, Sesame is similar in being local-first and not requiring a cloud service, but I am aiming for a more modern consumer style experience. There is still a lot of work ahead to get it up to speed. I might also build more products around it eventually, so there’s a consistent ecosystem.<p>(and of course, it would be great to eventually surpass some of the existing projects :) )
I like that this could be self hosted. I don't have anything against the big password managers (I use and pay for one), but they are a massive target for hackers for obvious reasons. If everyone could self host their own vault on a personal domain, the reward for hackers is much more difficult to get access to.
I don't really have anything against the big password managers either. I just don't love having to pay for a full year upfront with some of them. More than that though, a lot of them just don't quite fit what I want, or they feel a bit dated to use, like KeePassXC. That's a big part of why I started building Sesame. (and hoping to expand later on to have a more pleasurable ecosystem)
How does it compare to a local deploy of PSONO?
how does this compare to vaultwarden + bitwarden? my only concern there is that VW can throw self-host support out the door whenever they like. not that they'd have a reason to
vaultwarden + bitwarden is way more mature right now, but the main difference is that sesame is local-first by design. Vaultwarden also depends on staying compatible with bitwarden's clients/api, while this owns the whole stack
No offense but you might want to consider a different styling for the app/site because IMO this one screams "Claude vibe-code style".
it _is_ vibe-coded, you can read the commit descriptions in sesame-desktop repo<p>I wouldn't trust any password manager or critical applications like this written after 2024<p>bitwarden/KeePassXC are already more than enough
It's good that vibecoded software look vibecoded, because I then immediately know not to trust that it works, not to trust that it's secure, and not to trust that the maintainer will give a shit about it in six months.
Yeah I can see what you mean, but it wasn't really intentional. I mainly wanted to avoid the usual black/blue security-product look. I will probably keep the general direction but give it more of its own identity over time. Thank you for sharing your opinion!
Does it purge passwords from memory on vault lock?
Again Tauri. How then it different from Bitwarden? Desktop != Web
I don't see the support for passkeys listed anywhere?
