LessPass is a stateless, open-source password manager that deterministically generates site-specific passwords from a single master password plus site/login options, eliminating the need to sync an encrypted vault. It ships as browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, mobile apps for iOS and Android, a Python CLI, and a web-based generator with an optional self-hostable server.

Use cases

• generate unique passwords for websites without storing a vault
• access my passwords from any device without syncing
• manage passwords with just one master password
• self-host a password manager server
• generate passwords from the terminal
• fill login forms in the browser with a keyboard shortcut

When to choose

• you want a vault-free, deterministic password manager with no sync infrastructure
• you need the same passwords across browsers, phones, and the terminal
• you prefer self-hosting or fully offline password generation
• you value privacy and anonymity and dislike trusting cloud vaults

When to avoid

• you need to store existing arbitrary passwords, secure notes, or files
• you must rotate a compromised password without changing the master password or profile options
• you want shared team password vaults with access control
• you rely on a hosted service for new accounts (server registrations are closed)
