App stats
Ranking
App summary
Buttercup is an open-source password manager, available on all major platforms. It helps you track and store your login information for any service you use - personal or for work - in a securely encrypted vault that you store where you want.
Buttercup vaults contain groups and entries so that you can easily manage your login credentials. There’s also a desktop application and browser extension available, so you can access your vaults and credentials on every platform you use.
All information stored within Buttercup vaults is private and encrypted - available only to those with your master password. Keep this password secret and don’t use it for any other login! Once you have your login details stored within Buttercup, you can concentrate on remembering only the 1 password (for Buttercup) - all other passwords can be long, gibberish text to increase security, and you don’t have to remember them!
Buttercup’s features (non-exhaustive):
- 2FA/OTP (TOTP) ingestion and display
