On: Lesspass – open-source stateless password manager

>Basically, I added a concept of an `nonce` property, which is just a number that gets incremented every time a password for a service has to change.

So your solution to issues with stateless password managers is to... add state?

In a sense, but not state that gets stored anywhere. The "state" that's being mentioned in this thread is referring to storing state in some kind of database. My idea was to not require storage of state outside of the human mind, and to make any state easily guessable(by the owner) through exhaustive search.

Even Lesspass uses an incremented number for that purpose, from what I can tell. So it adds state in the sense that you're talking about.
