Secrets is an app for storing all of your passwords and anything else you want to keep … secret! There are lots of things in our daily lives that we don’t want other people to know like credit card details, bank details, and of course, passwords. Secrets can protect all of those things and more in an app that’s easy to use but still secured by strong encryption and advanced sync technology. Because we think that your secrets should be yours and yours alone, your passwords and information are never synced with our servers. If you choose to sync your information between devices it will be encrypted and securely saved in iCloud. Secrets uses strong 256-bit encryption and locks your information behind biometric (Face ID or Touch ID) and alphanumeric (a strong and unique passphrase) protection. Despite that, Secrets is full of features that you’re going to love using and will make using your passwords and other information a breeze. FEATURES INCLUDE: • Store all of your passwords, passkeys, credit cards, bank details, and other information so that it’s always there when you need it. • Create reate new, secure, and private passwords for new apps and services. No more trying to come up with a unique password yourself. • Generate one-time passcodes for apps and services that offer two-factor authentication. • Get all of your passwords and information into Secrets with ease — import from 1Password, LastPass, and other popular services or import using a CSV file. • Take your passwords with you. Secrets supports iCloud syncing so your information is always available and up-to-date. • Access your passwords when you need them — Secrets for iPhone and iPad securely integrates with browsers on Windows and Linux so your passwords are never more than a few taps away. • Use password AutoFill to quickly enter usernames and passwords on your Apple devices. PRIVATE AND SECURE We don't have access to your information, including usernames and passwords. Not even in encrypted form! Synced information doesn’t use our servers and nothing leaves your device or iCloud (when syncing is enabled). Information is stored using modern cryptographic algorithms and 256-bit encryption. Use Touch ID or Face ID to unlock Secrets or set up a strong passphrase — or both! You can even use your Apple Watch to unlock Secrets on the Mac. Automatic locking ensures that Secrets keeps all of your information locked away even if your phone/computer is stolen. PRICING Secrets is a free download and there are one-time in-app purchases available to unlock additional features. • Create, edit, delete, and import items after a 7-day free trial. • Unlock shared vaults so you can invite someone else to access your saved items. • A bundle that includes both in-app purchases for a single payment. Alternatively, Secrets is also available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Whether you opt for a one-time purchase or a subscription, it will be valid on all platforms: iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

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.
