Even the palest ink is better than the best memory. But with PassLock, you don’t need ink or memory. The data stored in PassLock can only be read by you; not even the developers or Apple can access it! Don’t challenge the complex password security issues of the information age with your memory. Worried about privacy breaches? We have made our code public on GitHub, open to scrutiny by everyone around the world. Based on the principle of security first, open source doesn’t mean you can run this project directly. Some security-related information like encryption algorithms, keys, and Xcode project configurations are not publicly available. Unlike most password managers that store your passwords on private company central servers, all the data you create in PassLock is stored locally on your device or in your private iCloud container. We don’t have our own servers at all! And all the data is doubly encrypted using AES256 and RSA. How long would it take to brute force AES256? If you had a supercomputer capable of calculating 2 billion times per second, it would take approximately 2,104,000,000,000 trillion years to crack an AES128 encrypted data. Yes, 2,104 billion billion years, far exceeding the lifespan of the universe! Download PassLock now, and you can: ● Save important accounts (supporting history passwords, notes, image attachments), private photos, and private notes. ● Autofill passwords based on URLs. We have designed a feature to automatically extract URLs through search engines, greatly improving efficiency. ● Autofill password extension supports QuickType Bar. ● Sync your data across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ● Record all historical passwords for accounts and support manual filling of historical passwords. ● A simple and convenient strong password generator. ● Detect if your account has been leaked on the notorious dark web. ● Data is saved locally by default and can be used without network authorization. If you accidentally uninstall the app, local data will be lost. ● Sync local data to iCloud without worrying about data loss, but it will take up your private iCloud space. ● Delete data stored in iCloud and keep only local data. Switch freely. ● Open and transparent source code and console demonstration, so you can understand how the private iCloud database is designed. ● Import important photos from your album into PassLock, such as IDs, bank cards, driving licenses, etc. ● Store your home Wi-Fi, router admin passwords, children's birth information, utility accounts, and more. ● Simple and easy-to-use secure notes for recording personal loans, debts, etc. Every suggestion you make will make PassLock better, and we look forward to hearing from you.
