In this digital age, we rely on passwords to protect our online presence on the web. With so many passwords to memorize, we experience password fatigue and easily fall into the trap of reusing weak passwords across different sites. This is a serious security risk, as a single compromised password can give attackers access to many other accounts. To address this issue, we introduce Vaultexe, an open-source self-hosted zero-knowledge password manager.
