## What it is
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)
