🔐 Security Architecture

Encryption Stack

Master Password
    ↓
Argon2id (3 iterations, 64MB memory)
    ↓
256-bit AES-GCM Key
    ↓
Encrypted Vault Data

Zero-Knowledge Design

• Master password never stored anywhere
• Vault encrypted locally before any storage
• Browser extension uses one-time tokens
• HIBP checks use k-anonymity (only 5 chars of hash sent)

Auto-Lock Protection

• Locks after 3 minutes of inactivity
• Locks when USB drive removed (if vault on USB)
• Clears clipboard after 15 seconds
• Suspends app after 4 failed unlock attempts
