I see "pricing" but can't spot "source code", perhaps you forgot to add a link?
by pshirshov - I like this idea.
What's your security/cryptography background?
by sejje - Sloppy slop.
A strong password and strong encryption is enough. The presence of 'blindlock' on a device is a clear indication that one of your files is a wallet. Phoning home to do a licence check is EVERY time you use it is obnoxious and defeats the purpose of having local software.
by nik282000 - I recently learned Steganography, as correctly named in the article, is not the same as Stenography.by ptaffs

- The question is, have you done something so unique and challenging that your website itself wouldn't serve as a prompt to rebuild the whole thing? Would I spend less than $49 doing so?by mpalmer
- To quote a comment I saw either here on HN or on Lobsters (can't remember which):
>A vibe-coded password manager? Sign me up!
by ubertaco - I built something similar years ago to use for a password vault --- data hidden locally in plain sight.
Instead of steganography, I simply appended the encrypted data/payload to the end of a JPG file in my photo library. The file opens and displays normally.
Part of the photo/carrier file is used as salt for decryption. The part that is used changes randomly based on the last modification time/attribute of the file. The file creation time (displayed in a normal directory list) is maintained/doesn't change with payload modifications.
Encryption is also tied to disk parameters so a simple file copy makes the data unreadable. The access utility can be used to move the file and re-encrypt the data on a different disk.
A labeled section of the payload data/vault holds TOTP keys so the access utility can also function as a 2FA authenticator.
