AliasVault has its own built-in email server that allows you to create unique email addresses and receive emails straight in AliasVault. No third-party email service required.

I don't get how does that work exactly in a self hosted environment?

Looks cool but wouldn't use anything other than keepassXc

Has this been audited? It’s easy to claim that something is secure, but there have been products that made such claims and were trivially exploitable.

One thing that jumps out at me reading the readme is the fact that it has a built in email server. Email is hard to get right, and I'm surprised a relatively young(?) project is working on getting all the moving pieces together rather than declaring it out of scope.

It'll be interesting to see how it develops.

I'll optimistically sit back and see what comes of this. I'm happy with vaultwarden.

Looks promising! And it's refreshing to see something that doesn't look vibecoded in a week. Couldn't find any AGENTS.md or other AI crap so I could actually try it

Looks like an interesting project, but I just don't understand it's use case.

I use Keepass and I just copy the (different) email address I used to register for a site into the username field and I'm done.

No hosting required, no additional email server, etc. just credentials in a fully portable file.

Is this trying to automate email based 2FA ?

Thanks but i stick to keepass. It does the job

It worked right out of the box.

been the number 2 recommendation after shitass proton on alternativeto.net. ui is a bit weird, but works. password generstion def needs more options tho, some sites need more number or more special characters.

Do you have thoughts on 1password?

Please remember that this software has not yet been properly audited and could potentially have bugs that compromise your passwords.

That said, it looks attractive and promising.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden but I’ll check it out.

Missed the self hosted install:

https://docs.aliasvault.net/installation/

Might investigate this further as I've wanted to move passwords to another solution and leave passkeys / 2fa via KeePass.

I’m incredibly skeptical of the self-hosting email server claims. With the past 30 years of spam, most of the majors make it nigh impossible to do so. I know there are diehards out there that make it happen; it’s not as easy as it was 20 years ago though.

Edit: Very useful HN thread with multiple perspectives (not just my doom and gloom)

Sometimes, an app can be an app and not some hosted web service mess.

I've been working on pt-BR translations for the project, really excited about its progress and future!

Does this basically replace SimpleLogin? Cuz id be down with that

One for us (who need to know what the experts do) to watch

Uh... Their web version's Terms and Conditions are... Readable? It's less than 1000 characters. That's characters, not words; It's 135 words.

Sometimes, it really pains me how much bullshit is on the internet. Why isn't every TaC like this?

Holy Shit^TM^, this looks amazing !

So.. What's the business model here? I don't see any pricing and such, when using their services.

I'm not 100% on board of unifying alias and email, makes it harder to move, but this might be interesting.

I never thought of integrating an email server into a password manager. That's an intriguing idea.

Not sure if they've resolved this, but last I checked you couldn't reply using the aliases (or maybe that was just their cloud offering?). Everything else I've seen has been pretty cool though, so I'm really hoping they succeed.

I'm keeping an eye on this one.

I reached out to the developer because there isn't a member sharing sync option (such as a family vault where you share with other members) but it's in their pipeline in the next 3 to 4 months.

wow!! will definitely slap this into freshrss and keep an eye on it
