## How SeedPass Works

SeedPass uses Bitcoin's BIP-85 standard for deterministic password generation. This means your passwords are not stored but can be regenerated using your master seed and specific indices.

### BIP-85 Derivation Tree

The BIP-85 standard allows you to derive multiple child seeds from a single master seed. Each child seed can then be used to generate secure passwords. Here's a simplified illustration:

    Master_Seed
    ├── Child_Seed_0
    │   └── Password_A
    ├── Child_Seed_1
    │   └── Password_B
    ├── Child_Seed_2
    │   └── Password_C
    └── ...

### Seed/Fingerprint Switching

SeedPass allows you to manage multiple seed profiles (fingerprints). You can switch between different seeds to compartmentalize your passwords.

### Nostr Relay Integration

SeedPass publishes your encrypted vault to Nostr in 50 KB chunks using parameterised replaceable events. A manifest describes each snapshot while deltas record updates. When too many deltas accumulate, a new snapshot is rotated in automatically.

### Checksum Verification

Built-in checksum verification ensures your SeedPass installation hasn't been tampered with.

### Interactive TUI

Navigate through menus to manage entries and settings. Example:

    Select an option:
    1. Add Entry
    2. Retrieve Entry
    3. Search Entries
    4. List Entries
    5. Modify an Existing Entry
    6. 2FA Codes
    7. Settings

    Enter your choice (1-7) or press Enter to exit:

### Secret Mode

When Secret Mode is enabled, retrieved passwords are copied directly to your clipboard instead of displayed. The clipboard clears automatically after a delay you set.

## Disclaimer

⚠️ Disclaimer: This software was not developed by an experienced security expert and should be used with caution. There may be bugs and missing features. Additionally, the security of the program's memory management and logs has not been evaluated and may leak sensitive information.

Loss or exposure of the parent seed places all derived passwords, accounts, and other artifacts at risk.

Snapshot chunks are limited to 50 KB and rotated when deltas accumulate.
