## What it is
Padloc is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted password manager for individuals and teams, built as a monorepo with a Node.js backend server, a Progressive Web App client, and native apps via Electron, Cordova, and Tauri. It securely stores passwords, credit cards, notes, documents, and supports secure sharing within organizations, and has been independently audited.

## Use cases
- self-host a password manager for my family or team
- store passwords and credit cards end-to-end encrypted
- share passwords securely with coworkers
- generate strong passwords
- access my vault on desktop, mobile, and browser
- open source alternative to LastPass or 1Password

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, audited, open-source password manager
- you need cross-platform access including web, desktop, and mobile apps
- you need team or family sharing of secrets
- you want end-to-end encryption without trusting the host

## When to avoid
- you want a zero-maintenance managed service without hosting anything
- you need enterprise SSO/SCIM features out of the box
- you prefer a lightweight CLI-only password manager like pass
