Read full descriptionHide full description
Secure Password Vault Pro is a powerful offline password manager designed to securely store and organize your login credentials and sensitive information on your iPhone. It uses strong AES-GCM encryption with keys derived from your master password using PBKDF2 (HMAC-SHA256) to keep your vault safe and private. Your master password is never uploaded or stored outside your device, ensuring full control and privacy. Key Features: - Store login items with title, username, password, URL, and notes. - Search across all fields including title, username, URL, and notes for quick access. - Fast add, edit, and delete flows using intuitive forms. - Detail view supports copying username, password, or URL to clipboard with automatic clipboard clearing after a configurable timeout (10–120 seconds) for added security. - Built-in password generator with customizable length (8–64 characters) and character sets including lowercase, uppercase, digits, and symbols. - Password strength meter to help you create strong, secure passwords. - Backup and restore your vault using encrypted export/import files. Backup files remain encrypted and require your master password to restore. Pro Features (available via lifetime unlock): - Biometric unlock using Face ID or Touch ID stores your master password securely in the device Keychain protected by biometrics, allowing quick and secure access. - Two-factor authentication (2FA) support with TOTP codes generated on-device from Base32 secrets stored per entry, enabling easy code copying. - Organize entries with folders for lightweight, flexible categorization. - Mark entries as favorites and filter your vault to quickly access important items. - Change your master password anytime; the vault is re-encrypted on-device, and biometric unlock remains functional. Security and Privacy: - The vault is encrypted locally with no network calls or cloud sync, ensuring your data never leaves your device. - Master password verification uses a Keychain-stored verifier to distinguish between wrong password and empty vault states. - Auto-lock option locks the vault when the app becomes inactive or backgrounded. - Clipboard auto-clear feature removes sensitive copied data after a configurable timeout, only if unchanged. User Experience: - Easy setup with master password creation on first launch. - Clear and intuitive interface built with modern forms for quick data entry and editing. - Detailed about section explains encryption methods, storage, and privacy. - Settings allow you to configure biometric unlock, auto-lock on background, and clipboard clear timeout. Backup & Restore: - Create encrypted backup files within the app. - Share backups securely using the iOS share sheet. - Restore vaults by importing previously exported encrypted backup files. - Restoring requires your current master password to decrypt and access the vault. Notes: - Master password is essential; it cannot be recovered if lost. - Biometric unlock is optional and device-dependent; fallback to manual entry is always available. - Not a call recorder or cloud sync service. Secure Password Vault Pro offers a robust, privacy-focused password management solution for iPhone users who want full control over their sensitive data with strong encryption, biometric convenience, and offline security.

Multi-factor authentication code generator, can be used for 2-Step Verification of Google, or other alike services, to provide an additional layer of security when signing in. Supports Bouqt Authentication™ required for Bouqt apps' multi factor verification. • OFF THE GRID. Doesn't send or receive anything from the internet. • SECURE. Uses iOS's built-in encrypted and secure keychain to store your keys. • SMART. Supports time-based and counter-based one-time passwords as described in RFC 4226 and 6238. • GROUPS. Allows grouping codes, especially useful for those with lots of keys. Quickly find your code. • CLEAR. Simple and readable user interface for fast reading. Important - to prevent security risks, Authenticator does not backup your data anywhere. Sensitive data (2FA keys) is stored on your iPhone's secure keychain, so only iTunes/iCloud encrypted backups will include a backup to these keys. If you're restoring your device from an iTunes/iCloud backup, the app and all keys will be restored as well, since your keychain will be restored as part of the process. IN ANY CASE, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO BACKUP YOUR 2FA SECRET KEYS IN A SEPARATE PASSWORD MANAGER (NOT THE MAIN ONE YOU'RE USING), TO AVOID LOSING ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNTS IN CASE OF ANY SORT OF A DATA LOSS. Bouqt Authenticator is based on a GitHub open source project of mattrubin/Authenticator.
