Over the past 3 years the pace of development in APS has steadily fallen off as maintainers including myself have moved on to other things. I no longer have time and motivation to dedicate to this project, and in the absence of significant external contributions there is no-one else I can offer the project's stewardship to.

To that effect, I will be archiving the repository on Monday, October 14th 2024 at 7AM GST. In the situation that a serious and viable fork emerges, I will help them as much as I can with the transition. The criteria for what counts as "serious and viable" is entirely vibes-driven for now, and may become more specific in the future. In case I determine that a fork does not live up to my made up standard, they will have to come up with a slightly more creative name than "Android Password Store" and watch low 4 figures of cash wither away in OpenCollective's bank account.

Honestly we need to invent something better than password managers.

You still need to store those secrets. You would probably refer to a keychain but in the end it is still a password/secret manager.

And the current implementation is not really better, services like paypal still do not allow you to use a passkey on the desktop.

This is more often 2FA & a password is still needed

Any self-hosted software to recommend?

Best we have and probably will ever have on the current web. Not sure what the problem is with password managers?

We have USB/NFC hardware security tokens, as well as OS-integrated passkeys
