About

AuthBox Vault

Features
Read full description

Auth Box is a zero-knowledge vault for your passwords, API keys, secure notes, and two-factor codes — all encrypted on your device with keys only you control. ZERO-KNOWLEDGE SECURITY Your vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device. We can't see your data — even if we wanted to. Recovery uses a 24-word seed phrase (the same proven model as Bitcoin wallets). EVERYTHING IN ONE VAULT - Store unlimited passwords, API keys, and secure notes - Built-in authenticator: keep your TOTP two-factor codes alongside their logins - Deterministic password generator — same seed + site = the same strong password, offline - Watch-only crypto wallet: track BTC and ETH balances by public address AUTOFILL Fill passwords and one-time codes directly in Safari and apps with the iOS AutoFill Credential Provider — everything stays on device. WORKS WITHOUT US Your vault works entirely offline and there is no account to create. If Auth Box disappears tomorrow, your 24 words recover everything. FREE FEATURES - Unlimited password, API key, and secure-note storage - Seed phrase generation & recovery - Face ID / Touch ID unlock - Built-in authenticator (TOTP) codes - Deterministic password generator - Watch-only crypto wallet - AutoFill credential provider PRO ($29, one-time) - End-to-end encrypted multi-device iCloud sync
