πŸ’‘ Inspiration & Background

Credential Architect was inspired by a real-world challenge faced by our first client:

Paviona, represented by Mr. Vincent Kurauvone, was manually typing thousands of vouchers by hand β€” directly from CSV data exported from a MikroTik router.

This process was:

  • Time-consuming
  • Error-prone
  • Physically exhausting

While tools like Mikhmon exist, they require technical knowledge and complex setup.

Credential Architect was created to be:

  • Free
  • Easy to use
  • Accessible to anyone

As long as you can export your data (usernames, passwords, tokens) to a CSV or Excel file, you can load it directly into Credential Architect and generate outputs instantly.
