About

Buttercup is a PASSWORD MANAGER - an assistant for helping you store all
of your login credentials. Buttercup helps you keep your accounts safe
and assists you when you want to log in - all you need to do is remember
just one password: your MASTER PASSWORD.

This is the Desktop application in the Buttercup suite, and there’s also
a mobile app and browser extension so that you can access your
credentials anywhere. You store your credentials (login information) in
a secure archive, which can then be stored on your own computer or any
of our supported CLOUD SERVICES (like Dropbox, for example).

Archives are encrypted using the AES specification, and cannot be read
by anyone besides those with the master password. Brute-force decryption
is not technically possible. You should not share your archive with
anyone, but rest assured: your contents are safe.

Why you need software like Buttercup

Many of us have 10s or 100s of accounts, and it would be _crazy_ to
secure these with 1 or 2 passwords. Why? If an attacker gains access to
one of the systems you have an account with, your password there may be
easily stolen - if an attacker gets this it’s highly likely they will
try to log in to other accounts you have with the same password. If
you’re using the same password on more than one site, you risk having
several accounts stolen if any one of them is breached.

Buttercup helps you by remembering all of your passwords, and because
you no longer have to remember them yourself, you can use DIFFERENT
PASSWORDS FOR EVERY SINGLE SITE.


Protecting your details

Buttercup provides a secure way of storing your details, but it is only
as secure as how you treat your master password and archive files.

Ensure that you never share your master password or use it anywhere
other than with your archive. Never share or store your archive in a
non-private environment. Always remember to make REGULAR backups of your
archive.
