Interesting idea but this seems woefully inadequate for password management.

The first thing that came to mind for me: how do you change a single site's password? The article doesn't say. It only mentions that changing the master password would require changing all passwords. That also seems like a complete non-starter.

There is an array of useful functionality that modern password managers provide, too: password sharing, saving select file content securely, password history, storage of security questions and answers, storing username (when you use something atypical for anonymity).

I can't help but feel like this idea is a dud. It's neat in an academic sense but it can't seriously compete with what already exists.

This project seems very similar to another. I’ve discovered years ago. https://spectre.app/ The original project was master password.app Domain: masterpassword.app Registered On: 2018-05-17
