🚨 BREAKING Format (5 Templates)
Tweet 1 — Zero-Knowledge angle (visceral)
🚨BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a password manager where the server mathematically CANNOT read your passwords.
It's called vault1984.
LastPass was hacked. 1Password knows your secrets. Bitwarden trusts its cloud.
vault1984 uses WebAuthn PRF — your passwords never leave your device unencrypted.
One Docker command. No SaaS fees. No telemetry. 100% Open Source.
[Thread: 1/4]
1/ Your password manager can read your passwords. That's not a bug — it's how they're built. LastPass proved it the hard way. 2/ vault1984 uses WebAuthn PRF encryption. The math happens on your device. The server stores encrypted blobs it cannot decrypt. Ever. 3/ FIPS 140-3 encryption. Self-hosted. One Docker command to deploy. Built for individuals and teams. No paywalls. No telemetry. 4/ The name? 1984 — the year someone decided to start storing your secrets for you. Never again. → github.com/[handle]/vault1984

Tweet 3 — Lead with LastPass breach
🚨BREAKING: Someone just built the answer to every password manager breach ever.
It's called vault1984. The server cannot see your passwords — not won't, CANNOT. WebAuthn PRF encryption.
Self-hosted. FIPS 140-3. One Docker command.
No SaaS fees. No telemetry. No paywalls. 100% Open Source.
Tweet 4 — Team/enterprise angle
🚨BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a zero-knowledge credential manager for teams — and it destroys the case for 1Password Teams at $19/user/mo.
It's called vault1984. Your IT admin can't read your passwords. Neither can the server. WebAuthn PRF encryption.
One Docker command. FIPS 140-3. Open Source.
Tweet 5 — Orwell name hook (most shareable)
🚨BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a password manager called vault1984.
The name? 1984 — the year SaaS companies started storing your secrets "for you."
WebAuthn PRF encryption means the server is mathematically blind to your passwords.
One Docker command. Self-hosted. Zero telemetry. No paywalls.
(Big Brother was the beta tester.)

Option A (builder story):
I got tired of trusting SaaS with my passwords. LastPass got breached. 1Password can technically read your vault. Even Bitwarden's cloud knows more than I'm comfortable with.
So I built vault1984.
WebAuthn PRF encryption — the server is mathematically blind to your passwords. One Docker command. Self-hosted. Open source.
Named it after the year someone first decided to store your secrets "for you." Never again.

Option B (shorter, more punchy):
Spent months building a password manager because I couldn't find one where the server genuinely cannot read your passwords.
vault1984 — WebAuthn PRF, self-hosted, one docker command.
The name says it all.

Subject/opener: vault1984 — thought you'd want to see this
Hey [name],
Wanted to give you a heads-up on something before it spreads.
A project called vault1984 just dropped — it's a self-hosted, zero-knowledge password manager where the server is mathematically incapable of reading your passwords (WebAuthn PRF encryption, FIPS 140-3). One Docker command to deploy. Full open source, no telemetry, no paywalls.
The name is an Orwell reference — 1984 being the year SaaS started "holding your secrets for you."
Given the LastPass fallout and ongoing trust issues with cloud password managers, I think your audience would find this genuinely interesting. Not asking for anything — just figured you'd want to know it exists before everyone else does.

Happy to answer any questions if you want to dig into the technical architecture.

Notes for Johan
- Tweet 2 is the safest single-tweet option (fits in 280 chars, no thread needed)
- Tweet 5 has the highest meme potential — the Orwell name hook + "Big Brother was the beta tester" line
- The personal voice Option A is best for authenticity — builder story resonates with this audience
- For DMs: prioritize accounts in the self-hosting / homelab / infosec / FOSS space (e.g. @selfhosted_show, @ThePrimeagen followers, privacy-focused tech accounts)
- Don't post all 5 at once — space them out, test which angle gets traction, double down
