Tether Launches PearPass P2P Password Manager Without Cloud Servers

Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has launched PearPass, a peer-to-peer password manager. Key features include:

P2P synchronization, eliminating centralized cloud servers
Credentials stored on user devices with encrypted data syncing
Built-in password generator and end-to-end encryption using open-source cryptographic libraries
User-controlled account recovery similar to non-custodial wallets
Community-audited and independently assessed for security by Secfault Security
Available as a free download across major platforms, focusing initially on mainstream browsers

PearPass is part of Tether's broader Pear ecosystem, which includes P2P tools for sovereignty, privacy, and security. This ecosystem integrates technologies like Holepunch and Hypercore for developing serverless applications. Other related initiatives include:

Keet: An encrypted calling and messaging app
Pear Credit: A P2P credit protocol for tokenized credit

Tether is expanding its focus beyond stablecoins into infrastructure, AI, and cybersecurity. This includes:

Tether Data: An AI SDK platform with self-custodial features
AI tools like decentralized SDKs, translation services, voice assistants, and a Bitcoin wallet assistant

These developments position Tether as a technology provider prioritizing local-first, user-controlled systems.
