“The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.” ― Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Prize Winner GhostKey™ is the first password un-manager. It is built on the philosophy that we all have engraved memories, tastes, and preferences that are unique to us. They are more secure than our biometrics, which are not secrets in themselves. GhostKey™ provides three unique benefits over other password systems: security, simplicity, and enjoyment. Security: People used to memorize passwords or write them on a piece of paper. Current password managers convert that piece of paper into a digital form that needs to be protected, copied, and synchronized. GhostKey™ gets rid of that paper forever. It does not store any password or connect to any other machine. Instead, it computes passwords based on your memories, uses these to log you in, and then erases the computed passwords. Because of the unique way that GhostKey™ works, it isn't vulnerable to brute force attacks in the same way as other password managers. GhostKey™ don't validate the results, so If the wrong memento is entered the computed a password is wrong. Each password GhostKey™ generates has a 118-bit entropy, which takes 63 billion years to crack, and each application or website has a different password, making your security virtually unbreakable. Simplicity: GhostKey™ was designed to disappear. We’ve reduced the number of touches to the bare minimum, speeding up your login experience. Instead of inventing passwords, you use existing memories, which we call Flashbacks and Mementos. A Flashback is entered once per device, while a memento is entered every time you log in. Using a Visual Memento renders the login experience as fast as using biometrics. Enjoyment: GhostKey™ is designed to be enjoyable as well as fast and secure. You log in using a combination of your favorite memories and photos chosen from a gallery of 300 beautiful images. Instead of enduring frustrations and anxiety, you'll enjoy logging in and out, because each time you do you will be reliving your special experiences. GhostKey™ features include: • Totally offline operation: nothing leaves your device. • Beautiful photo-based login experience. • Automatic anti-phishing measures. • Personas™ to organize your accounts based on how you live your life. • Guaranteed unique password for each website and application. • Scramblers to create new passwords without changing your Memento. • Total freedom: you choose how you want to express your memories.

RabbitKey keeps your passwords encrypted on your device — not on someone else's server. Built for people who take security seriously. END-TO-END ENCRYPTION Every entry is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 before it ever touches storage. Only your master password can unlock your vault — your data stays on your device, and we never see it. BIOMETRIC UNLOCK Unlock your vault instantly with Face ID or Touch ID. Your biometric data never leaves the device. FREE CLOUD SYNC Keep your vault in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud, Google Drive, or your own WebDAV server — free, no Pro required. You choose where your data lives — or keep it fully offline. SYSTEM AUTOFILL RabbitKey integrates with iOS AutoFill so credentials appear right above the keyboard — in Safari, in apps, anywhere iOS supports autofill. ONE-TIME CODES (OTP) WITH AUTOFILL Store your two-factor authentication secrets next to the matching login. RabbitKey generates the rolling 6-digit code and autofills it straight from the keyboard — no app switching. OTP secrets are encrypted just like everything else. STRONG PASSWORD GENERATOR Generate high-entropy passwords on demand. Tune length and character classes to fit any site's rules. PASSWORD HEALTH Surface weak and reused passwords before they become a problem. RabbitKey scans your vault and flags entries that need attention.

Transfer your vault directly via QR code — no cloud, no account required. MULTIPLE VAULTS Keep work and personal credentials separate with independent vaults, each with its own master password. TRASH & RECOVERY Deleted something by accident? Entries stay in Trash for 30 days before permanent removal.
