Passelo

Password vault that's structurally incapable of leaking. Even to us.

Passelo holds passwords, passkeys, TOTP seeds, SSH keys, and API tokens. Co-derived from the same master that unlocks Cognielo, so your single biometric unlocks everything. Web autofill via standard credential providers. The operator cannot decrypt your vault.

What it does

Three things Passelo actually does.

Calm-direct features. No growth-hack copy. Each one ladders to a specific patent claim and a specific line of source code.

Passwords + passkeys + TOTP

One vault, all credential types. Standard provider integration for web + iOS autofill.

Co-derived master key

Single biometric unlocks Passelo + Walletelo + Cryptelo + every kit. One fingerprint, full access — to you only.

Sharing without leaking

Share a credential with a family member or team via WebRTC. The operator never sees the credential or who has it.

What it replaces

Password vault (the public face).

Cryptelo is the trust anchor (always free). Passelo is the user-facing password manager that drives everyday flows.

1Password
Premium password manager. $36/yr family.
→ Passelo + Cryptelo together cover the same scope; bundled into Cognielo Pro Everything.
Bitwarden
Open-source. Free + premium.
→ Passelo's UI is closer to consumer-friendly 1Password while the underlying vault is Cryptelo (always free).
LastPass
Legacy. Multiple breaches.
→ Same answer — Passelo's threat model assumes the operator can't be trusted.
Dashlane / NordPass / Keeper / RoboForm
Subscription managers.
→ Same. One Cognielo subscription replaces them.
Apple Passwords (iCloud Keychain)
First-party.
→ Passelo imports + extends iCloud Keychain; ongoing storage is under your eKAP key.
Google Password Manager
Browser-based.
→ Import yes, ongoing trust no.
Browser-built-in saves (Edge, Chrome)
Browser password storage.
→ Passelo replaces them with a real vault.
Authenticator (Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator)
TOTP generators.
→ Passelo handles TOTP next to passwords.

Patent posture

Maps to: Claim 1 + Claim 1.15 (co-derived master) + Claim 1.14

Passelo is covered by U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 64/041,821 and the May/June 2026 follow-on cluster. The substrate-locality covenant is a cryptographic property of the file format, not a marketing posture.
