PassQ
Post-quantum password vault
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
PassQ is a local-first password manager built for the post-quantum era. Your vault key is wrapped with ML-KEM-768 — the NIST-standardized, quantum-resistant key-encapsulation mechanism - so a vault captured today stays protected against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks.
Everything stays on your Mac. PassQ has no account, no cloud sync, and no telemetry. Nothing ever leaves your device.
POST-QUANTUM BY DEFAULT
• ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption
• scrypt password stretching; every entry sealed under its own key
• Encrypted binary vault — secrets are never written as plaintext or JSON
EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT
• Strong, configurable password generator
• Built-in two-factor (TOTP, RFC 6238) with rotating codes
• Passkey unlock (WebAuthn) — open your vault without typing the master password
• Password health audit — surface weak, short, and reused passwords at a glance
• Groups and nestable folders
• Custom fields and file attachments, all encrypted
• Password history — recover a previous password after a change
• Import and export (PassQ JSON or CSV); plaintext export is strictly opt-in
• Merge two vaults entry-by-entry (newest wins) for device-to-device transfer
• Auto-lock on inactivity
• English and Lithuanian
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up, no servers to trust
• Secrets stay masked until you explicitly reveal or copy them
• Open about its cryptography — the vault format and key cascade are documented
PassQ keeps your passwords yours — encrypted with tomorrow’s cryptography, today.
