Your Keys. Your Identity. Unstoppable.

---

The password manager that works even if we disappear. 24 words = all your passwords. No email, no account, no server dependency.

Why Auth Box

Every password manager asks you to trust them. Auth Box asks you to trust math.

• No Email Required -- Create a vault in 45 seconds. Just a seed phrase and a master password.
• Survive Without Us -- Your vault is encrypted with keys derived from your seed phrase. Even if Auth Box ceases to exist, your passwords remain yours.
• Passwords Without Storage -- Derive passwords deterministically from your seed + site name. Your vault can literally be empty.
• AI Agent Gateway -- Give AI assistants controlled access to credentials via MCP protocol, with policy-gated, auditable delegation.
• Import Everything -- Migrate from 13 sources: Apple, Google, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, KeePass, Samsung Pass, NordPass, Enpass.
• AI Infrastructure Hub -- Manage API keys for 70+ providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Stripe...). Drag-drop .env files to auto-import. One-click health checks verify keys are valid.
• Arweave Permanent Storage -- Archive your encrypted vault to Arweave for permanent, decentralized backup. Recovery works even without Auth Box servers.

The Unstoppable Promise

You trust your crypto to 24 words. Why not your passwords?

Auth Box uses the same proven model as Bitcoin wallets:

seed phrase (24 words)
  -> master key (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512)
    -> vault encryption key
    -> sync encryption key
    -> per-agent delegation keys
    -> deterministic passwords (no storage needed)

If you have your seed phrase, you have everything. No server. No company. No dependency.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Start development
make dev        # Postgres + Redis + Web
make dev-api    # Go API
make dev-full   # Everything at once

• Web app: http://localhost:3010
• API: http://localhost:4010

Architecture

Client (holds all keys)              Server (encrypted blobs only)
+-----------------------------+      +---------------------------+
| Web App     Extension       | E2E  | Auth (SRP-6a)             |
| (Next.js)   (Chrome MV3)   | ---> | Vault (encrypted CRUD)    |
|                             |      | Agents + Policies (JSONB) |
| @authbox/crypto (seed+HD)  |      | Audit (hash chain)        |
| MCP Gateway (WebSocket)    |      | PostgreSQL + Redis        |
+-----------------------------+      +---------------------------+

Zero-knowledge: The server stores only encrypted blobs. It cannot decrypt anything.

Unstoppable Mode: The server is optional. Your vault works offline with keys derived from your seed phrase.

Encryption

Layer	Primitive	Purpose
Seed	BIP-39 (24 words)	Sole recovery mechanism
Master Key	PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512	Key derivation from seed
Sub-keys	HD derivation (BIP-32 style)	vault / sync / agent / auth / derive
Vault	AES-256-GCM	Encrypt all vault items
Auth	SRP-6a	Mutual authentication (optional server)
Passwords	Deterministic derivation	seed + site = password (no storage)

Comparison

Feature	1Password	Bitwarden	LessPass	Apple Keychain	Auth Box
Self-sovereign (seed phrase)	No	No	No	No	Yes
Works without server	No	Self-host only	Yes	Apple only	Yes
Deterministic passwords	No	No	Yes	No	Yes
Full vault + deterministic hybrid	No	No	No	No	Yes
AI Agent gateway (MCP)	No	No	No	No	Yes
Open source client	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes (MIT)
Import sources	Few	8	0	Apple only	13 + .env auto-import
AI API key management	No	No	No	No	70+ providers
Company disappears	Data at risk	Self-host option	OK (stateless)	Locked	24 words = recovery

Tests

Latest verified baseline (2026-03-23):

Go API:     PASS   28 tests (SRP/TOTP, rate limiter, security middleware, audit chain)
Crypto:     PASS   51 deterministic tests; 2 live Arweave probes opt-in
E2E:        65/65  Real SRP/TOTP login + vault/agent/audit/session CRUD + security
Build:      PASS   7/7 turbo packages, 0 errors

Security audit: 12 findings fixed (TOTP bypass, timing attack, session scoping, CORS hardening...) Performance audit: 11 optimizations applied (composite indexes, cache limits, rate limiter refactor...)
