## What it is
AliasVault is an end-to-end encrypted password and email alias manager. It generates alternative identities, passwords and email addresses for each website, and includes its own email server so that mail sent to an alias arrives directly inside the vault without a third-party mail provider. The site says no one except the user can see inside a vault, and the project's README describes a zero-knowledge architecture in which the server never has access to unencrypted data. It can be used through the official cloud service or self-hosted with Docker, and the code is published on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 licence. Passkey support and offline access in the browser extension and mobile apps are also listed.
