## What is LocalGateKeys Password Vault?

LocalGateKeys is an offline password manager. Your passwords live in an encrypted vault on your iPhone. There is no account to create and no server of ours that holds your passwords. The vault is encrypted on the device (Argon2id and AES-256-GCM) and unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID.

FILL IN SECONDS
• AutoFill logins in Safari and other apps, with suggestions in the QuickType bar
• Fill cards, addresses and other details in any text field (iOS 18 and later)
• Use LocalGateKeys for passkeys
• Safari offers to save a new login after you sign in

2FA CODES BUILT IN
• One-time codes (TOTP) next to the login they belong to
• Scan a website's 2FA QR code, or bring codes over from your authenticator app
• Show the codes you choose on your Apple Watch

KEY FILE AND YUBIKEY
• Optionally require a key file and/or a YubiKey (YubiKey 5 NFC) as well as your master password
• Restore encrypted .lgkm phone backups

LOCAL FIRST, NO CLOUD ACCOUNT
• Optional encrypted sync with LocalGateKeys on your Mac and Windows PC, over your own Wi-Fi or through your own cloud folder
• Import from Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass and other password managers and authenticator apps
• No analytics, no tracking, no ads

STAY ON TOP OF YOUR SECURITY
• A security check with a score: weak, reused and old passwords, and logins that could use two-factor codes
• Password history for every login
• Reminders before a card, passport or licence expires

MORE THAN PASSWORDS
• Cards, notes, identities, bank accounts, Wi-Fi, licences, API keys, SSH keys and more
• Attach documents and photos, stored encrypted in your vault
• Recently deleted keeps items for 30 days, with Undo

FREE AND PRO
Free for up to 4 items. Pro adds unlimited items, device sync, two-factor codes and attachments. Buying Pro sends only the App Store receipt to our licence server, so your purchase also unlocks LocalGateKeys for Windows. It is not linked to you.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-11-08*

LocalGateKeys looks like a solid password manager. I like that everything stays in an encrypted vault on your device without needing an account or cloud storage. Having AutoFill, 2FA codes and Face ID all in one app is useful too. The no tracking and no ads approach is a big plus. 🔒
