Overview

Wheelder Safety Platform is a consumer-grade, human-in-the-loop credential rotation agent — the foundation of privacy and online safety in the age of AI. It is designed for individuals and teams who want full control over their digital credentials without relying on third-party automation services.

The platform accepts a CSV export from any credential manager, generates strong new credentials, navigates to each service via a Playwright browser session, applies the update with human confirmation, and produces an updated CSV ready for re-import. No credentials are written to the database at any point — only account metadata is stored.

What Is New in v1.0

  • Universal CSV Workflow — Import accounts from any credential manager export (Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, Chrome, Safari) or add them manually. Generate updated credentials and export a refreshed CSV for re-import — no vendor dependency.
  • Bulk Rotation Tab — Step-by-step workflow: Import → Generate → Rotate → Export. Each stage unlocks only after the preceding step completes, preventing unintended partial runs.
  • Human-in-the-Loop Agent — A Playwright-powered browser session navigates to each service and applies the new credential. The user reviews and confirms each change before it is committed.
  • DEMO Mode — The public demo includes pre-populated sample accounts across ten services. Visitors can explore every workflow without connecting real credentials.
  • Code Snapshot — A public API surface summary is published at wheelder.com/safety/snapshot, enabling transparent review of method signatures without exposing implementation details.
  • Zero Credential Storage — Credentials flow through subprocess memory only and are never persisted to the database. Python bytearray objects are used instead of immutable strings and are explicitly cleared after each rotation task completes.
  • Subprocess Isolation — Each rotation job runs in its own OS process. When the process exits, the operating system reclaims all memory, eliminating residual credential exposure between jobs.
  • Audit Trail — Every rotation attempt is logged with a timestamp, duration, outcome, and descriptive message. Full history for each account is accessible from the dashboard in one click.

Security Design

ControlImplementation
No credentials in databaseOnly account metadata (name, URL, username) persisted
Memory protectionPython bytearray with explicit clearing after use
Process isolationEach job in a separate subprocess; OS reclaims memory on exit
Input validationAll account IDs validated as integers; site types allowlisted
No shell executionPHP proc_open() and Python subprocess.run(shell=False) throughout
Prepared statementsAll database writes use PDO prepared statements

System Requirements

  • PHP 7.4+ with SQLite3 extension
  • Python 3.10 or later
  • Browser automation — Playwright for Python + Chromium
  • Database — SQLite 3 (embedded — no separate server required)
  • Credential manager — Any (CSV export/import) or none
