## Security Model
- **Zero-knowledge:** master password never sent to server
- `authHash = PBKDF2(masterPassword, email, 100_000 iter)` — sent to server for auth only
- `vaultKey = PBKDF2(masterPassword, enc_key_salt, 600_000 iter)` — stays in browser memory only
- All vault data (payload + item name) encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before sending to server
- **Item name encryption:** `enc_name`/`iv_name` store the AES-256-GCM ciphertext of the item name. The server's plaintext `name` column holds only the item type (e.g. `"password"`) as a non-sensitive audit label. Legacy items without `enc_name` fall back to `name` transparently.
- **Server-side:** Argon2id hash of the client-derived `authHash` (double-hashed for depth)
- **JWT:** HS256, access token 15 min, refresh token 7 days, unique JTI per token
- **JWT blacklist:** on logout both tokens are blacklisted by JTI; refresh rotates tokens
- **MFA:** TOTP (pyotp), secret stored AES-256-GCM encrypted in `users.totp_secret`/`totp_iv`
- **Sharing:** ECDH P-256 — shared secret derived client-side, re-encrypts item plaintext
- **Emergency access:** same ECDH re-encryption; wait timer enforced server-side
- **CSRF:** Flask-WTF on page-serving routes; API blueprints CSRF-exempt (JWT bearer auth)
- **Rate limiting:** Flask-Limiter (Redis-backed in production); Nginx dual-zone as second layer
- **HTTP security headers:** HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, CSP via `@app.after_request`
- **Password generator (extension):** Fully CSPRNG — `_cryptoRandInt()` uses rejection-sampling with `crypto.getRandomValues()`. `Math.random()` is never called anywhere in the generator.
- **Decrypted vault data in extension:** Stored in `chrome.storage.session` only (memory-only, cleared on browser close). Never written to `chrome.storage.local`.
- **Breach detection:** Security dashboard runs HaveIBeenPwned k-anonymity checks — only the first 5 chars of each password's SHA-1 hash are transmitted. Passwords never leave the browser.

## Extension Storage Architecture — Critical Rules
### Storage area decision table
| Data | Where stored | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `access_token`, `vault_key_jwk`, `vault_items`, `vault_items_cs` | `chrome.storage.session` | Memory-only, cleared on browser close. Decrypted data must never persist to disk. |
| `refresh_token`, `enc_key_salt`, `pending_save`, `save_blocklist`, `idle_lock_seconds` | `chrome.storage.local` | Persists across browser restarts and SW termination. |
### `vault_items_cs` is in `chrome.storage.session`, NOT `chrome.storage.local`
As of the current codebase, `vault_items_cs` (the decrypted vault cache for content scripts) is written to **`chrome.storage.session`**. This is a deliberate security decision — decrypted passwords must never be persisted to disk.
**Minimum Chrome version required: 111 (March 2023).** `chrome.storage.session` is not readable by content scripts on Chrome ≤ 110. The `storage.onChanged` listener in `content.js` watches `area === 'session'`.
> ⚠️ **The original CLAUDE.md stated `vault_items_cs` lives in `chrome.storage.local`. That is no longer correct.** If you see it reverting to `local`, that is a regression — revert it.
### `chrome.storage.onChanged` area guard
```js
chrome.storage.onChanged.addListener(function(changes, area) {
if (area === 'session' && changes.vault_items_cs) { // 'session', not 'local'
...
}
});
```
### `pending_save` must remain in `chrome.storage.local`
`chrome.storage.session` is wiped when the MV3 service worker is killed (within seconds of inactivity). `pending_save` stays in `local` so the save prompt survives SW restarts.
---
## Key Implementation Decisions & Gotchas
### Item name is encrypted client-side (`enc_name` / `iv_name`)
The `name` column in `vault_items` is **not** sensitive — it stores only the item type string (e.g. `"password"`) as a server-side audit label. The real display name is stored as AES-256-GCM ciphertext in `enc_name` with nonce `iv_name`.
**On load:** `loadVault()` / `fetchAndDecryptVault()` decrypt `enc_name` after decrypting `enc_data` and override `item.name` with the plaintext. Legacy items without `enc_name` use the server's `name` field as fallback — no migration of existing rows required.
**On save:** `handleFormSubmit()` (web app) and `addItemToVault()` / `saveCredential()` (extension) call `Crypto.encryptName(vaultKey, name)` / `ExtCrypto.encryptName(vaultKey, name)` before POSTing, sending `enc_name` + `iv_name` alongside `enc_data` + `iv`.
**On password change / recovery:** The re-encryption loops in `auth.py` also update `vault_item.enc_name` / `vault_item.iv_name` when the client sends updated values.
**API contract:** `POST /api/vault` and `PUT /api/vault/<id>` now accept optional `enc_name` and `iv_name` fields. The `name` field is still required (used as the server-side label).
### Password generator is fully CSPRNG
`generatePassword()` in `extension/popup/popup.js` uses `_cryptoRandInt(max)` for all random selection:
```js
function _cryptoRandInt(max) {
// Rejection sampling — no modulo bias.
const limit = Math.floor(0x100000000 / max) * max;
const buf = new Uint32Array(1);
do { crypto.getRandomValues(buf); } while (buf[0] >= limit);
return buf[0] % max;
}
```
This replaces `Math.floor(Math.random() * n)` which was used in the required-character selection and Fisher-Yates shuffle steps. `Math.random()` is not called anywhere in the generator.
### `_isLikelyUsernameField()` — credential field detection heuristic
`findUsernameField()` in `content.js` no longer accepts any `input[type="text"]` preceding the password field. It scores candidates via `_isLikelyUsernameField()`:
1. **Definite YES:** `autocomplete="username"` or `"email"` or `"tel"`
2. **Definite NO:** Non-credential `autocomplete` values (`name`, `given-name`, `organization`, `search`, etc.)
3. **Keyword scan YES:** `name`, `id`, `placeholder`, or `aria-label` contain `user|email|mail|login|phone|tel|mobile|account`
4. **Otherwise:** field is not decorated
`input[type="email"]` and `input[type="tel"]` are always accepted without scoring.
### `_normaliseUrl()` — bare-domain URL matching
Both `content.js` and `popup.js` include a `_normaliseUrl()` helper that prepends `https://` to URLs that lack a scheme before passing them to `new URL()`. This prevents silent match failures for vault items stored with bare domains (e.g. `"github.com"` instead of `"https://github.com"`).
```js
function _normaliseUrl(raw) {
if (!raw) return null;
const s = raw.trim();
if (/^https?:\/\//i.test(s)) return s;
if (s.startsWith('//')) return 'https:' + s;
return 'https://' + s;
}
```
### MutationObserver guards against extension's own DOM mutations
The `MutationObserver` in `content.js` inspects every mutation before calling `decorateFields()`. If every added/removed node carries a `__pk` class or id prefix, the callback returns early — preventing re-decoration loops on SPAs triggered by the extension injecting or removing its own dropdown or icon buttons.
### `showDropdown` is debounced on `input` events
The `input` event listener on decorated fields wraps `showDropdown` with a 150 ms debounce via `_debounce()`. The `focus` listener remains instant. This eliminates visible lag on large vaults when the user types quickly.
### Three-dot menu is now a proper flyout
The `data-menu` button in the popup renders a `.pk-flyout` div anchored below the button. Menu items are built dynamically from what the item has — "Open URL" only if `plain.url` exists, etc. Styled via `.pk-flyout` / `.pk-flyout-item` in `popup.css`. Closes on any outside click.
### Copy-username button is a dedicated action
A `data-copy-user` button with a person SVG icon appears at the left of the action row for any item with a username. This replaces the previous behaviour where the three-dot button silently copied the username on click.
### HaveIBeenPwned breach detection
`renderSecurityDashboard()` in `vault.js` is now `async`. After rendering the synchronous sections (Weak / Reused / Old), it fires parallel HIBP API calls for every password item via `checkHibp(password)`:
```js
async function checkHibp(password) {
const hashHex = /* SHA-1 of password via crypto.subtle */;
const prefix = hashHex.slice(0, 5);
const suffix = hashHex.slice(5);
const res = await fetch(`https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/${prefix}`, {
headers: { 'Add-Padding': 'true' },
});
// parse response, find matching suffix, return breach count
}
```
Only the first 5 hex characters of the SHA-1 hash are sent. Passwords never leave the browser. Network errors fail safe (return 0, do not block UI). The HIBP section renders progressively after the synchronous sections.
### `item_type` must be `VARCHAR(20)`, NOT `db.Enum(ItemType)`
Using `db.Enum(ItemType)` with a `str`-based Python enum caused SQLAlchemy to lazy-load the column back as a raw string after commit, making `self.item_type.value` raise `AttributeError`. Use `db.String(20)`.
### `INTEGER(unsigned=True)` requires MySQL dialect type
```python
from sqlalchemy.dialects.mysql import INTEGER
db.Column(INTEGER(unsigned=True), ...)
```
### All datetimes are naive UTC (`datetime.utcnow()`)
Do NOT mix in `datetime.now(timezone.utc)` — mixing causes comparison failures in token blacklist and emergency access wait-timer checks.
### AuditLog must flush before log, then commit together
```python
db.session.add(item)
db.session.flush() # populates item.id
AuditLog.log(user_id=..., action='vault_item.create', resource_id=item.id, ...)
db.session.commit() # commits both atomically
```
For deletes, capture `id` and `name` before the delete flush.
### Extension vault key must be extractable
`extension/shared/crypto.js` uses `extractable: true` so the vault key can be serialised as JWK and stored in `chrome.storage.session`. The web app uses `extractable: false`.
### JWT `sub` claim must be a string (PyJWT 2.x)
Always convert: `'sub': str(user_id)` when generating tokens; `int(payload['sub'])` when reading back.
### TOTP secrets encrypted at rest (server-side)
`totp_secret` stores AES-256-GCM ciphertext; `totp_iv` stores the nonce. Encrypted/decrypted exclusively by `auth_service.encrypt_totp_secret()` / `auth_service.decrypt_totp_secret()`. Generating the key:
```bash
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"
```
### Extension SSO bridge
`bridge.js` runs on `pwkeeper.ngodanguyen.tech` only and syncs sessions bidirectionally between the web app and the extension. See the original CLAUDE.md for the full bridge flow.
### Autofill uses native HTMLInputElement setter for framework compatibility
```js
const nativeSet = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLInputElement.prototype, 'value')?.set;
if (nativeSet) nativeSet.call(el, value);
el.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
el.dispatchEvent(new Event('change', { bubbles: true }));
```
### `reset_db.py` for schema changes (Windows, no flask db CLI)
```bash
python reset_db.py
```
Production schema changes: `flask db upgrade`.
---
## Audit Log System
Every create, edit, and delete action is recorded server-side via `AuditLog.log()`. No sensitive or encrypted values are ever written to the audit log.

## Migration History
| Revision | Description |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `71d7158dd3b9` | Add audit_logs table; fix sharing_public_key column type |
| `a1b2c3d4e5f6` | Encrypt TOTP secret at rest (totp_secret → VARCHAR(255), add totp_iv) |
| `b2c3d4e5f6a7` | Add account recovery columns (recovery_enc_salt, recovery_iv) |
| `c3d4e5f6a7b8` | Encrypt vault item name (add enc_name, iv_name to vault_items) |

## Notes
- Never log decrypted vault data server-side
- All encryption/decryption of vault data (including item names) happens in the browser
- The server stores only encrypted blobs — zero-knowledge architecture
- `enc_key_salt` is not secret on its own — only useful combined with the master password
- **Redis is required in production** for rate limiting. Without it, each Gunicorn worker maintains its own counter.
- **Recovery code is never stored server-side** — only the AES-256-GCM ciphertext of `enc_key_salt`
- **Password change clears the recovery code** — user must regenerate from Account Settings
- **The `#vault-list` element ID must not be renamed** — `vault.js` renders all vault items into it
- **`save_blocklist`** in `chrome.storage.local` stores hostnames for which the save banner is suppressed
- **`vault_items_cs` is in `chrome.storage.session`** — decrypted data never written to disk (changed from `local`)
- **HIBP checks run progressively** — the security dashboard renders synchronous sections first, then fires parallel k-anonymity requests in the background
