## What is PROXIMITY®?

PROXIMITY® – Zero-Knowledge Password Manager & Authenticator (2FA)

PROXIMITY is a zero-knowledge password manager, two-factor authenticator (2FA), and secure vault. Your data stays private, encrypted, and fully under your control — no master passwords, no recovery keys, no security questions. Only you and your trusted peers can access it.

ZERO-KNOWLEDGE BY DESIGN
Your private key never leaves your device. All encryption and decryption happens locally — cloud servers store encrypted data only. Even Proximity cannot read or decrypt your credentials.

PATENTED PEER IDENTITY VERIFICATION
Your trusted network is your recovery system. If you lose your phone or reinstall the app, a trusted contact can securely verify you and return your encrypted key — without exposing your data or involving Proximity. No centralized recovery risk, no backdoors.

PASSWORD MANAGER + AUTHENTICATOR (2FA / TOTP)

Secure password generator
Unlimited stored credentials
Built-in TOTP authenticator (Google Authenticator compatible), QR code setup
Push notifications for approval
AUTOFILL & BROWSER SUPPORT
iOS AutoFill, Safari extension, Chrome extension, and seamless login across devices.

SECURE SHARING
Share passwords, authenticator codes, and sensitive data with approved trusted contacts — you decide what's shared and what stays private.

WHAT YOU CAN STORE
Passwords, authenticator accounts, secure notes, documents and images, recovery codes, and other important records — all under device-only encryption.

SIMPLE SETUP
Download Proximity, create your account, add at least one trusted contact, and you're secured.

FREE TO USE
Proximity is currently free, with no paid tier: unlimited accounts, sharing, trusted connections, secure document storage, and full activity history — all included.

YOUR DATA. YOUR KEYS. YOUR CONTROL.
Your data is only accessible on your registered device. Your trusted connections are your recovery system. Proximity cannot access, reset, or recover your account.

Choose PROXIMITY® and take back control of your online identity.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2021-06-11*

Great app! Thanks!!!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-01-03*

Great app, easy interface, my only issue is when I'm trying to enter all my login info, I have to enter the login name, my username/email and password before I can paste anything into the notes section. This is hard for me due to the fact that I’m upgrading my security level from a locked Notes entry and I’m trying to copy and paste the info for that login into the note section in the app so I can read it from there because I have a horrible memory and forget parts or all of the info by the time I’m logged into the app, and having to go back and forth to get and then save each entry, it’s very time consuming! So it would be very helpful if I could use the note section without having to type something into the required fields first.. 
If that’s possible, it would probably fix my next issue - info being erased when I hit back after entering the password.. i.e. I hit + to add a new login, I have to enter something into the title, username/email and password field before I can paste the info into my notes to help me enter the correct info, so I enter a title name (we’ll just say iTunes, for example), then I type “a” (because I’ve already forgotten what the actual screenname was suppose to be, then click on the password field and enter it (if I can actually remember it at this point.. if not, I just push “a” again and fix it after pasting my info in the notes section next), I hit the save button and then hit back, now the title is missing. It’s been deleted and I have to re-enter it before I can paste my note (the actual info I’m trying to save) but I’ve forgotten that by now too, so I enter “a” and then paste my info into the notes section. NOW, 10 minutes later, I can finally enter the correct info! Hopefully though, the title won’t be deleted when I have to enter the password..
Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE to fix this? It would save me so much time!! As you can probably tell, my memory is horrible and I have A LOT of logins with different usernames, emails, passwords, etc, which is why I need this app! People like me give people like you a career! 😉 So PLEASE help me! 
Thank so much for reading! I do enjoy the app, keep up the good work & thanks for a convenient and easy-to-use app!
