Buttercup 2.28.1, released by MadDev, is an open-source, cross-platform password manager whose desktop edition has evolved through 83 successive builds since its inception. Engineered for users who need to consolidate credentials without surrendering control, the application encrypts the entire vault with industry-grade algorithms that are unlocked only by a single, user-defined master password. This architecture encourages the adoption of unique, high-entropy passwords for every website, service, or application while relieving the user from memorising them. Typical use cases range from individuals replacing browser-stored passwords with a centralised, portable vault to small teams sharing encrypted archives through cloud drives or WebDAV folders. The program imports from more than twenty rival managers—CSV, 1Password, KeePass, LastPass among them—and exports to CSV or JSON for audit or migration, making it a practical pivot tool during security overhauls. Automatic lock timers, secure clipboard clearing, and optional two-factor authentication further reduce the surface for credential theft on shared or public machines. Because the vault is a single `.bcup` file, it can be version-controlled or carried on encrypted removable media, satisfying both privacy-conscious travellers and compliance-minded administrators. The interface remains deliberately minimal, grouping entries into colour-coded groups and supporting TOTP tokens, notes, and custom meta-fields so that SSH keys, licence codes, or banking details sit alongside everyday logins without clutter. Buttercup belongs to the Security/Privacy software category and is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serving the newest release and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
