Package horcrux provides security question style password recovery while preserving end-to-end cryptographic security. Given N pairs of security questions and answers, the secret is split using Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm into N shares, one for each question. A 256-bit key is derived from the answer to each question using scrypt, and the share is then encrypted with that key using ChaCha20Poly1305. To recover the secret given K of N answers, the secret keys are re-derived and the shares are decrypted and combined. This package has not been audited by cryptography or security professionals.
