A forgotten password on Edge is not recoverable by the company. Store the backup key somewhere separate.
Reputation and reviews
A reputation score out of 100, kept separate from the feature score above. It reflects what users actually report over time rather than a star rating scraped on one day.
REPUTATION
73/100
A small, loyal following. The login model makes self custody feel like a normal app, which is genuinely valuable for beginners, and it is fully open source.

Star ratings change constantly, so we link to the sources rather than printing a number that is out of date the day after it is written.
