## What is Pepperword.app?

Your passwords are yours.

Pepperword is not a vault. It stores no passwords, anywhere. Each one is generated live on your device, from two things: a keepsake photo you already have and a passphrase you know. Same photo, same passphrase, same password. Every time.

HOW IT WORKS

- Pick a keepsake photo. It never leaves your device.
- Choose a passphrase only you know.
- Pepperword generates a strong, unique password for every site, fitting that site's rules.
- AutoFill fills it in Safari and your apps.

WHAT IS SAVED

Only each site's settings: address, password rules, rotation date, your login name. Encrypted, in your own iCloud. Never your photo, never your passphrase, never a password. No server. No account.

YOU HOLD THE KEYS

No one can recover your Pepperword for you. Not even us. That is the point. Keep the photo and the passphrase, and your passwords can be regenerated on any iPhone or iPad. Nothing to restore.

FREE ON ONE DEVICE

Free is the full product on one device. Premium syncs your sites across devices through your own iCloud: $1.99/month or $19.99/year, 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

No ads, no tracking. You are the customer, not the product.

WHY TRUST IT

Pepperword is built by a security researcher who uncovered critical flaws in top password managers. The protocol is open. Every line of it.
