What is GetPassX?

GetPassX is a free desktop security tool for Windows that keeps all your login credentials stored locally on your device. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, it eliminates the risk of remote data breaches by ensuring your sensitive information never leaves your computer.

The application uses AES-256-GCM encryption combined with Argon2id key derivation — the same standards trusted by financial institutions and government agencies worldwide.

Key Features

• Military-grade encryption — Your vault is protected with AES-256-GCM and Argon2id, making brute-force attacks virtually impossible

• Built-in 2FA authenticator — Generate TOTP codes directly in the app without needing a separate mobile authenticator

• Credential generator — Create strong, unique login strings with customizable length and complexity settings

• Visual organization — Color-coded categories, favorites, and automatic favicon loading for quick identification

• Recovery key — A 24-character backup key is generated during setup for emergency vault access

• Brute-force protection — Escalating lockout periods after failed login attempts to prevent unauthorized access

How It Works

Create a master key to protect your vault. All stored entries are encrypted before being saved to a local file on your machine. Add new items with one click — the app fetches website icons automatically. For accounts with two-factor authentication, TOTP codes are generated within the same entry and refresh every 30 seconds.
