Vault Desktop
LockStep Password Vault
I am loathe to trust other people with my sensitive data, especially with all the data breaches that have occurred of late, and apps not being as secure as advertised, so I decided to build a password app for myself. Well aware of how rusty I was, my intention was to develop it beyond a level where I was fully convinced I wouldn't lose access to my passwords, and to a state in which I felt I wouldn't expose any vulnerabilities.

Testing & Development Status
This project was built for personal use first, with portfolio visibility as a secondary goal. The frontend has been developed and tested through active daily use against a live Erlang backend.
A targeted unit test suite covering payload parsing and frontend security event handling is in progress. Professional third-party penetration testing is planned as the project matures.
This is not a released product. It is a working application and an honest record of where it currently stands.
