Password Carrier's reliability

Password Carrier's reliability

How can people be assured 100% that you don’t use all those accounts and passwords?

Couldn’t there be a hidden program that runs secretly to send all that information to a remote capture system?

You can be 110% sure that none of your credentials are sent to us, you can verify that yourself.

Password Carrier never establishes any network connections, so your data cannot be sent anywhere by our program. The only exception is if you have update checks enabled; in that case, the program will connect to dekart.com and retrieve a small text file, which contains information about the new versions, if they are available.

You can disable the automatic update checker, and in that case Password Carrier will be completely isolated from the Internet.


If you have updates enabled, you can use a network sniffer (such as Wireshark), to see which data are actually sent/received by the program, and make sure that you are indeed dealing with a small text file which contains the number of the latest version.


Further, you can examine the program with various tools in order to monitor Password Carrier's file-system behaviour. If you do that, you will notice that Password Carrier does not start other processes which could perform network transfers; nor it writes sensitive data to obscure locations in the file system.

The drawing below shows that:

  • Password Carrier does not 'talk' to any web-sites directly
  • It only interacts with your system's browser, and then the browser itself will communicate with each web-site
