About Passcodes

Our Philosophy & Vision

Password management should be intuitive, secure, and completely under your control. Here's what drives us to build Passcodes.

Problem Statement

In modern days, data is important, especially data that concerns authentication information. Storing them securely is a serious task (and much of a headache). Passcodes tries to eliminate this headache by providing you a simple, sweet and intuitive UI that helps you store your passwords in local storage (and to extend also in cloud). This means you have full control of data you share with the Passcodes app.

Our Goals

Intuitive Experience

Make password management process much more intuitive, enjoyable, customizable & secure by giving you full control over your auth data.

Simplify Yet Control

Simplify password management while giving extensive control to end users over their authentication workflow.

Educational Tool

Serve as a guide, reference & extensible tool for people interested in making their password management workflow safer and more customizable.

Data Ownership

Ensure users maintain complete ownership and control over their sensitive authentication data without vendor lock-in.

Target Users

Primary Target

Tech-Savvy Enthusiasts

Not So Developer, Not So Normal End-User - Our primary audience includes:

Those who wish to optimize their password management workflow but don't know how
Users willing to spend time learning a specialized password management tool
People who want control over their auth data without the headache of remembering everything
Users who don't mind researching documentation to customize their workflow

Secondary Target

Software Engineers

The source code is designed to be clean, maintainable, and extensible. Developers can modify the app to meet their specific needs, with comprehensive documentation for learning and extending Passcodes.

End Users

General Users

While we support general users, the app is optimized for customization rather than simplicity. If you're a general user, consider this a starting point for your password management journey. We recommend evolving into our primary target group to use the app more effectively.

Our Priorities

Priority #1: Customization & Extensibility

The app will be fully extensible & customizable without being limited by abstraction and simplification. We prioritize making internals abstract and decoupled, even if it means losing some simplicity in the UI/UX.

Priority #2: Security & Robustness

The app includes multiple redundant software checks for data and user input to ensure robust operation. These checks might add performance overhead, but security is more important than performance for password management.

Performance is Not Our Priority

We believe users can wait 2-3 minutes if the app is doing redundant checks to ensure data validity. However, if performance becomes a serious issue (like taking 1 minute for a simple password storage action), we will address it.

What We Think of Password Management

Password management is something as simple as remembering a password, yet it's a very important topic in terms of security. As developers of Passcodes, we aim to streamline and secure the process as much as possible while giving users full (or utter-most) control over their data and workflow.

We believe that true security comes from transparency, user control, and the ability to customize your tools to fit your specific needs rather than adapting to rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions.
