Credentials

Update 0.2: Fixed a bug which prevented the extension from being installed.

Main purpose of this extension is to encrypt and store user entered credentials with the encryption key provided by the user. The key is only known to the user and no one else. This reduces the chance of credentials being compromised even if the backend database gets hacked as nothing is stored in plain text.

There is no limit on how many keys a user can use to store different credentials. That is, there is no master key to unlock everything. Users can use separate keys for separate credentials and the server will handle which credential to retrieve based on the user's key. (Again, the key is not stored in any servers.)

The user is in control of how strong their key should be.

It is recommended that a user stores a key having length greater than 16, ideally being 32 characters long. It should also be something random and entirely generated by the user themself.

It is highly recommended that the user shall never share their key (or keys) to anyone nor should they store their key (or keys) physically or digitally. Highly recommended for users to remember their key (or keys) and destroy any physical or electronic copy of their key (or keys).
