# [Master Password •••|](http://masterpassword.app)
|
|
|
|
Master Password is a completely new way of thinking about passwords.
|
|
|
|
It consists of an algorithm that implements the core idea and applications for various platforms making the alogirthm available to users on a variety of devices and platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## PROJECT MOVED
|
|
|
|
Master Password is announcing a massive rewrite, modernizing the solution and clearing the way for exciting new capabilities.
|
|
|
|
The project is re-launching as [Spectre](https://gitlab.com/spectre.app), still fully open-source Free Software here on GitLab.
|
|
|
|
Any interested parties are invited to participate in [the alpha or beta programs](https://spectre.app/#beta), to participate in the new Spectre identity platform.
|
|
|
|
The Beta program is now open for users with iOS devices. The Spectre Beta introduces a new app, rewritten under Swift, and new capabilities such as AutoFill.
|
|
|
|
All development effort has moved to the Spectre project. Master Password is no longer actively maintained.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
1. Has there been a change in ownership?
|
|
|
|
No. This project is still owned and maintained exclusively by [Maarten Billemont](https://gitlab.com/lhunath).
|
|
|
|
2. How can I trust Spectre?
|
|
|
|
Spectre's code-base is based on the Master Password code-base. The algorithm is exactly the same. The license is the same. The author is the same.
|
|
|
|
The applications are being rewritten for modern platforms. Spectre has the exact same trust parameters as Master Password.
|
|
|
|
3. Why is the project changing?
|
|
|
|
Several reasons, in fact. Master Password as a name is too ubiquitous in popular culture, which is a cause for confusion. We are also looking to evolve the capabilities of the platform beyond simply passwords, into a fully decentralized identity platform. We're also looking to be socially inclusive and conscious of the implicit biases present in terminology we've inherited from past societies.
|
|
|
|
All that said - Spectre is the mark of a complete refresh of the Master Password solution. Hope you'll love it!
|
|
|
|
4. How do I migrate?
|
|
|
|
Master Password export files are fully supported by Spectre. Migration mechanism exist in Master Password which will trigger as soon as you install Spectre; for instance, as soon as you install Spectre on your iOS device, Master Password will show a pop-up which will copy your user over at a tap.
