Conventional password manager
- Create a provider account
- Create and remember a master password
- A permanent encrypted vault is maintained by the provider
- Devices synchronize through the vendor’s vault service
No cloud database
MystSafe apps keep your encrypted vault on trusted devices. Your selected Google Drive or GitHub account carries signed, encrypted updates between them; MystSafe does not host the vault database or run the synchronization service.
Two different models
This comparison describes the conventional centralized-vault model. Individual products may use different implementation details.
Device-controlled sync
Google Drive or GitHub carries signed and encrypted update blocks between your trusted devices. It does not receive the keys needed to decrypt your vault payloads.
Use your chosen provider to synchronize encrypted updates without a MystSafe-hosted vault database.
