Secure, Open-Source Android Password Manager with Nextcloud Sync

NexPass is a privacy-focused Android password manager with zero-knowledge encryption, designed for users who self-host Nextcloud. It combines robust security with seamless OS-level autofill integration and offline-first architecture.

• Zero-Knowledge Encryption: Master password never leaves your device
• AES-256-GCM Encryption: Military-grade encryption for all stored passwords
• Hardware-Backed Security: Android Keystore integration
• Biometric Authentication: Fingerprint/Face unlock support
• Auto-Lock: Configurable timeout (1/5/15/30 minutes)
• Encrypted Database: SQLCipher-encrypted local storage
• PBKDF2 Key Derivation: 100,000 iterations for master password

• Full CRUD Operations: Create, read, update, delete passwords
• Intelligent Password Generator: Character-based and passphrase modes
• Folder Organization: Categorize passwords into folders
• Tag System: 16-color tags for flexible organization
• Favorites: Quick access to frequently used passwords
• Search: Fast password search across all fields
• Export/Import: Encrypted backup and restore

• Two-Way Sync: Seamless synchronization with Nextcloud Passwords
• Offline-First: Works without internet, syncs when available
• Conflict Resolution: Smart last-write-wins algorithm
• Pending Queue: Offline changes synced automatically
• Zero-Knowledge Upload: Passwords encrypted before transmission

• Autofill Service: System-wide password autofill
• Intelligent Matching: Domain, package, and fuzzy matching
• Auto-Save: Capture new credentials automatically
• Material 3 UI: Modern, clean interface with dark/light themes
• Deep Linking: Direct navigation to specific passwords

• Android Studio: Hedgehog (2023.1.1) or newer
• JDK: 17 or higher
• Android SDK: API 29+ (Android 10+)
• Gradle: 8.2+ (included via wrapper)
