TrustID Authenticator works with 2-factor authentication for your TrustID accounts. The app itself is protected by biometrics or PIN code. Sensitive data, such as the secrets of your second factors, are stored securely on your device only. When you access to a service using your TrustID account, a push notification will be delivered to your app that lets you confirm or cancel the sign-in process in an effortless way. If the notification service is unavailable, a traditional offline mode can also be used to not miss any sign-in sessions.

Veilbox is a private photo vault: hide photos and videos behind a PIN, encrypted on your own phone. Pick what to hide from your gallery, or take a photo straight into the app. Veilbox encrypts it on the device and keeps it in a private folder other apps cannot read — a secret gallery only you can open. There is no server, no account, no cloud backup and no analytics. Nothing leaves your phone, because there is nowhere for it to go. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Hide photos and videos from anyone who picks up your phone • Lock a private album behind a PIN, fingerprint or face • Remove the originals from your gallery right after importing, in one tap • Screenshots blocked, and the app hidden in the task switcher • Save anything back out to your gallery whenever you want • Works fully offline — airplane mode changes nothing WHAT YOU GET • Vaults — keep hidden photos in folders that make sense to you • A recovery key, shown once, for the day you forget your PIN • Dark and light themes, ten languages PREMIUM — one payment, no subscription • Unlimited vaults and unlimited photos • Hide videos the same way as photos • A second password for a single vault, on top of your PIN • Decoy vault: a second PIN that opens a different, harmless vault • Break-in photos: a silent front-camera shot after failed PIN attempts • Pick your accent colour HOW THE ENCRYPTION WORKS Your files are encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305, the same authenticated cipher used by TLS 1.3 and WireGuard. Your PIN never touches the files: it unwraps a random master key held in the device keystore. Every vault has its own key, so a vault password is a real second wall rather than a cosmetic one. BEFORE YOU START Veilbox cannot recover your vault if you lose both your PIN and your recovery key — that is the price of keeping nothing on a server. Write the recovery key down. And if you uninstall the app, the encrypted vault goes with it, so save out anything you want to keep first.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrustID Authenticator at none against Veilbox's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
