AliasVault

AliasVault is an open-source password and alias management tool designed to enhance online privacy. It enables users to generate distinct identities, email addresses, and passwords for different online services, reducing the risk of personal data exposure.

Functionality

The tool combines a password manager with alias generation, allowing users to compartmentalize their online accounts. It includes a built-in email server for creating disposable addresses, which forward messages without revealing the user’s primary inbox. All data is encrypted locally before synchronization, ensuring only the user can access their stored credentials.

Deployment Options

AliasVault can be self-hosted on private servers or used through a hosted service. Its open-source nature (MIT license) allows independent verification of its security architecture. The software does not require third-party email providers, as it handles mail routing internally.

Privacy Approach

By facilitating the use of separate identities for different services, the tool aims to limit cross-service tracking and mitigate risks from data breaches. It does not store master passwords or unencrypted data on its servers.
