The core principle actually dates back over 125 years and boils down to “security through obscurity is no security at all”, i.e. For a recent example, in 2018, critical flaws in the security of many widely used Samsung, Crucial and other disk drives were exposed, with the security researchers proving that proprietary and closed-source cryptography is “often shown to be much weaker in practice” than open source cryptography. There are countless studies that prove this but many companies still hope that you don’t know about them. Open source software is well known to be more secure than closed source (proprietary) software so for something that you have to trust to safely store your passwords to your online and financial accounts, open source is the only sensible choice. You, or technically capable friends and family, can review the code that will interact with your secret passwords to verify that it really does what we claim it does there’s no need to implicitly trust any companies or individuals, in contrast to most other commercial password managers and web browsers like Google Chrome. All Kee Vault security software is open source because this is the only safe way to develop security software.
