Features:

• You can save the login credentials for different websites to b.lock. The saved credentials will be auto-filled when you visit the websites subsequently.
• You can also save "Secret notes" such as bank PIN numbers, metamask seed words,...
• b.lock acts as a Nebulas wallet as well. You can use it to keep NAS or send NAS to other accounts.

How it works

• b.lock uses the Nebulas blockchain and each user account is linked to a Nebulas account.
• b.lock uses your Nebulas private key (in other words, the master key) to encrypt your passwords and secret notes, using the AES-256 encryption algorithm.
• b.lock saves the encrypted passwords/secret notes on the Nebulas blockchain.
• Hence, your passwords will be accessible to you anytime and anywhere, as long as you have your private key
• No one but you can decrypt the encrypted passwords. Thus, you are truly in control of your passwords.

How to use:

• Step 1: Download the chrome extension from here
• Step 2: Following the extension’s intructions, create your “keystore” (which is like your master key) and back it up. You can also import your existing Nebulas keystore.
• Step 3: Go to this link and get your free Nebulas coins (which is needed to run b.lock. Don’t worry, $0.0001 worth of the coin is enough to use b.lock for your lifetime. Hence, we are giving it free to you)
• Step 4: Done, you can start using b.lock to save your passwords/secret notes

Why blockchain?

• Password managers are essential these days, when we have to manage lots of different passwords (which shouldn't be reused)
• There are lots of potential problems with the existing centrailized password managers:
  • Single point of failure: if the server/database goes down, there goes your passwords
  • Trust issue: can you really trust that these closed-source softwares will not just read your passwords?
• b.lock solves all of these problems:
  • The passwords are stored on the decentralized database that is the Nebulas blockchain, hence it will not go down easily
  • The passwords are encrypted by your private key which belongs to only you. You are the only one who can see your saved passwords.
