Qeva

What Qeva is
Qeva is an open-source password manager for individuals and teams, offered as a self-hosted web vault. It organizes passwords, logins, and secure notes in personal, team, and shared global vaults. Users can import from LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden, and other sources, then identify weak, reused, or old passwords with its health checks. A password generator and vault security score are also included. Its timestamped activity log records sign-ins, shares, and edits, with filtering and export. Access tokens and a REST API let teams automate onboarding, offboarding, and access changes, with connections to identity providers, HR systems, or CI pipelines. Qeva says it uses AES-256 encryption, has no trackers or telemetry, and is licensed under AGPL. Its architecture page specifies AES-GCM, 150,000 PBKDF2 iterations per key, and ciphertext-only secrets at rest. Docker deployment keeps the service on infrastructure the user controls, according to the maker. The self-hosted plan is free, with unlimited users, teams, and vaults. The maker says no independent security audit has taken place yet. Qeva describes its current product as a web vault; browser and mobile clients are next.
