Bitwise Account Manager (BAM) is an open-source Chrome extension developed by Bitwise.cc. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. BAM is designed to securely manage BitMEX API keys, allowing users to engage in secure crypto-trading without exposing their API secrets to third parties.

BAM utilizes industry-standard encryption techniques such as AES and PBKDF2 to encrypt user-supplied data and store it locally. It ensures that sensitive API secrets cannot be extracted or tampered with by the host application.

Moreover, BAM securely signs API requests and directly sends them to BitMEX from the Chrome browser, eliminating the need for a relay server. This enhances the security of the trading process and provides users with peace of mind.
