CLUSTER CREDENTIALS-ENCRYPTED-MANAGER · 25 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-19

Desktop password managers

This cluster consists of password manager applications that store login credentials in an encrypted vault, primarily on desktop platforms. Dated entries before the index start are sparse and irregular, appearing roughly every few months from mid-2020 to mid-2026 without a clear pattern. All three traction leaders (trancado-bin, auravault, svault) have zero stars, so no product currently stands out on traction.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
