Which is fine, but a lot of what people actually need to keep somewhere is bank stuff. Account number, IFSC code, which card belongs to which bank. That usually ends up in a notes app or a chat with yourself.</p> <p>So I built Self Vault, an Android app for logins, bank accounts and cards.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li>Logins and all your passwords, like any password manager.</li> <li>Bank accounts with the IFSC field built in, not stuffed into a "notes" box.</li> <li>Several cards under the same bank, so you can see them grouped.</li> </ul> <h2> The storage decision </h2> <p>I didn't want to run a server holding people's bank details. Your vault is encrypted on your phone, behind a master password only you know. Nothing is stored on our servers.</p> <p>The tradeoff is real though. If you forget the master password, I can't reset it for you, there's no "forgot password" email. I'd rather be upfront about that than pretend it's free.</p> <h2> What I'd like feedback on </h2> <ul> <li>If you use a password manager on Android, what would make you trust one from a small developer?</li> <li>Is the bank/card layout useful, or would you just use a secure note for that?</li> </ul> <p>It's free on Play Store: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexdhara.password" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexdhara.password</a></p> <p>Happy to answer questions in the comments.</p> showdev android security privacy
