Spec score 8.5 #31 of 104 in Password Managers

What it is

Passman is a free, open-source password manager for hosting credentials on a user's own Nextcloud or ownCloud instance. It supports multiple vaults, and vault keys are not sent to the server. Credentials are encrypted client-side with 256-bit AES, with additional server-side encryption described by the maker. Users can create custom credential fields, generate one-time passwords, and check password strength. Sharing is available internally or by link, though administrators may disable it. Passman offers a web interface, a native Android app, and browser extensions; its documented REST API covers vaults, credentials, and authentication, although the reference is described as slightly outdated. Vaults can be exported to CSV or JSON using the vault password. Experimental import sources include KeePass, LastPass, DashLane, ZOHO, Clipperz.is, EnPass, and ocPasswords. The project lists SQLite, MySQL or MariaDB, and PostgreSQL support and uses the AGPL-3.0 license. Its stable listing shows version 2.6.3 for Nextcloud 34 and 35.
