TurtlPass — Your Passwords, Physically Secured.

Our mission is to bring privacy and peace of mind back to password management. Unlike cloud-based managers, TurtlPass doesn’t store or sync any passwords. Instead, a secure hardware device generates deterministic passwords on demand, using a secret seed that never leaves the board.

TurtlPass gives you:

  • 🔐 True offline security
    All secrets stay on the hardware device. No cloud, no syncing, no remote attack surface.

  • 🧠 Deterministic & reproducible passwords
    The same inputs always produce the same strong password, making recovery and consistency effortless.

  • 🌍 Cross-platform freedom
    The hardware device is the heart of TurtlPass. All clients — the Python CLI, Chrome extension, and Android app — simply connect to your device to request passwords. This keeps computation secure while giving you flexibility across platforms.

  • 🛠️ Open-source transparency
    Every component — firmware, protocol, and clients — is open, auditable, and community-driven.


Why Sponsor TurtlPass?

Support privacy-first, open-source security.
TurtlPass is built around a simple belief: password managers shouldn’t require trust in the cloud. By sponsoring, you help fund an alternative that keeps secrets off the internet and puts users fully in control.

Your sponsorship helps us:

  • 🛡️ Advance hardware-first security
    Develop new firmware features, protocol improvements, and support more microcontroller boards.

  • 🌐 Expand cross-platform clients
    Keep the CLI, browser extension, and Android app up-to-date, reliable, and secure across devices.

  • 🧪 Improve UX and accessibility
    Build friendlier flows for setup, recovery, account management, and device onboarding.

  • 🔍 Fund audits, testing & hardening
    Every contribution helps maintain high code quality and strengthens the cryptographic model.

  • 📖 Create better docs & guides
    Tutorials, architecture references, and example workflows take time—your support accelerates it.
