-AliasVault is an open-source password manager that can generate virtual identities complete with virtual email addresses. AliasVault can be self-hosted on your own server with Docker, providing a secure and private solution for managing your online identities and passwords.
+**The features that make AliasVault unique:**
+- **Zero-knowledge architecture**: All data is end-to-end encrypted on the client and stored in encrypted state on the server. Your master password never leaves your device and the server never has access to your data.
+- **Virtual identities**: Generate virtual identities with virtual (working) email addresses that are assigned to one or more passwords.
+- **Open-source**: The source code is available on GitHub and can be self-hosted on your own server.
