Keyrook

PassholdPassword manager by Keyrook

Every password, filled in. Only you can read them.

Passhold fills your logins from the sign-in field, keeps your passkeys and makes up strong passwords. Everything is encrypted on your computer before it syncs to your others, so Keyrook stores it and cannot read it.

Version 0.2.1 for Chrome and Edge on your computer. Free forever, and open source.

What it does

The everyday work of passwords, done for you.

Filling, saving, passkeys and checkouts — at the moment you need it, in the page you are on.

Filled from the field, with one click.

Click a sign-in field and Passhold offers the logins saved for that site. Pick one, and it is filled in — in forms inside frames too, as many banks and shops build theirs.

  • Only the logins saved for this site are offered
  • Nothing fills without a click, never on page load
  • Only fields you can see are filled

Saved as you sign in.

Send a sign-in form and Passhold asks whether to keep the login — or to update the password, if it changed.

  • The question shows the username and site, never the password
  • Earlier passwords stay in the login's history
  • “Never for this site” is remembered

Passkeys, kept with your logins.

When a site offers a passkey, Passhold saves it with the login for that account and signs you in with it — on every computer you use.

  • The private key never leaves Passhold
  • It signs only for the site it was made for
  • “Save it elsewhere” leaves it to the browser

Cards and addresses, at checkout.

The same button in a checkout's fields fills the card or the address you choose — and offers to save the one you just paid with.

  • A card is filled only on a secure page
  • Named by its last four digits, never its number or code
  • Also where a checkout splits the card across frames

Strong passwords, made up for you.

On a sign-up form, Passhold offers a new strong password and fills it in, then offers to save it once the form is sent.

  • Choose the length and the kinds of characters
  • Leave out look-alikes such as I, l, 1, O and 0
  • A checkup finds weak and reused ones

On every computer

Sign in once. Your logins follow you.

Passhold starts with a free Keyrook account — the one Keyrook Authenticator uses. Each item is sealed on your computer before it syncs: Keyrook's server stores it, and learns no password, no name and no site.

  • Your passwords and passkeys on each computer you sign in to
  • Back again on a new one if this one is lost
  • Signed out, it takes your vault off the browser
  • Google, GitHub or an email

    Make your account with Google or GitHub, or with an email address and a password of its own. An email address is proved with a six-digit code.

  • Opened with a touch

    Touch ID or Windows Hello opens Passhold — or a PIN while the browser stays open, or a security key you add. No master password to make up and remember.

  • A new computer, let in by you

    Sign in and everything comes down: with your password, your passkey, or the same code shown on a computer already signed in.

  • A recovery key only you hold

    Your account comes with one, for the day nothing else is left. Keyrook holds nothing that opens your vault.

Also in your vault

The rest, done properly.

  • Cards, addresses and notes

    Kept beside your logins and synced with them. A note is shown only in Passhold, never filled into a page.

  • Folders and fields of your own

    File anything in a folder, and add fields such as a PIN or a security question's answer, hidden until you ask.

  • A trash and a history

    Deleting moves an item to the trash, and a changed password is kept in the login's history.

  • Locks itself

    After the time you choose, and when the computer locks. A copied password is cleared from the clipboard soon after.

  • Easy to move in, easy to leave

    Import the CSV your browser or password manager exports. Export to CSV, or to an encrypted backup you keep yourself, at any time.

  • 52 languages, light or dark

    Following your browser, or your choice. A keyboard shortcut opens your vault from any page.

Security

Encrypted here. Unreadable everywhere else.

Passhold seals everything on your computer before it goes anywhere, and keeps what it fills out of the page's reach. Here is how.

  • Sealed on your computer

    Every item is encrypted with AES‑256‑GCM under a random key. The key that opens your vault never reaches Keyrook.

  • A server that cannot read

    Keyrook's server learns your email, when you sync and how many items you have — never a password, a name, a site or a folder. A record it alters will not open.

  • The right site, and only that site

    A login is offered only on the site it was saved for: alice.github.io and mallory.github.io are two sites, so a look-alike page gets nothing.

  • Out of the page's reach

    The page you are on never holds your vault. Passhold's list is its own page, framed in, which the website cannot read — and it will not act if the website covers it.

  • Nothing reports back

    No ads, trackers or analytics. Site icons are built in, never fetched, so no server learns where you have accounts.

  • Open, and tested

    The code is published under GPL-3.0. Each claim in its security design names the test that tries to break it.

What it does not protect against

  • Losing every way back. Forget your password and lose your recovery key, and nobody can open what you kept — not Passhold, not Keyrook. Keep the key somewhere safe, apart from your email.
  • A weak password. Someone who copies the vault file or a backup can try passwords as fast as their hardware allows. Use a long one, used nowhere else.
  • Malware on the computer, or another extension with broad permissions.
  • Someone at your computer while Passhold is open — or who knows the computer's own password, where it stands in for your fingerprint.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need a Keyrook account?

Yes: Passhold starts with one, and it is free. Make it with Google, GitHub or an email address. It is what brings your logins to your other computers, and back if this one is lost — and the same account works for Keyrook Authenticator.

Can Keyrook see my passwords?

No. Each item is encrypted on your computer before it is sent, with a key Keyrook never receives. Keyrook stores what you sync and cannot read it, nor which sites your logins are for.

Which browsers and computers does it work on?

Chrome and Microsoft Edge, on Windows, macOS and Linux. Passhold is for computers: there is no phone app.

What if I forget my password?

Your account's recovery key, with a code sent to your email, sets a new one. Lose both, and nobody can open what you kept — so keep the recovery key somewhere safe, apart from your email. An account made with Google or GitHub has no password to forget.

Can I bring my passwords from another manager?

Yes. Export them as a CSV file — from Bitwarden, as JSON — and import it in Passhold's settings. Cards, addresses and notes in the file come too. How to.

Can I use it beside Keyrook Authenticator?

Yes. They share your Keyrook account and keep separate things: Passhold your passwords, Keyrook Authenticator your two-factor codes. Each has a key of its own, so nothing Passhold holds opens your codes.
