Even the palest ink is better than the best memory. But with PassLock, you donβt need ink or memory. The data stored in PassLock can only be read by you; not even the developers or Apple can access it! Donβt 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 doesnβt 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 donβt 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: β Save important accounts (supporting history passwords, notes, image attachments), private photos, and private notes. β Autofill passwords based on URLs. We have designed a feature to automatically extract URLs through search engines, greatly improving efficiency. β Autofill password extension supports QuickType Bar. β Sync your data across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. β Record all historical passwords for accounts and support manual filling of historical passwords. β A simple and convenient strong password generator. β Detect if your account has been leaked on the notorious dark web. β Data is saved locally by default and can be used without network authorization. If you accidentally uninstall the app, local data will be lost. β Sync local data to iCloud without worrying about data loss, but it will take up your private iCloud space. β Delete data stored in iCloud and keep only local data. Switch freely. β Open and transparent source code and console demonstration, so you can understand how the private iCloud database is designed. β Import important photos from your album into PassLock, such as IDs, bank cards, driving licenses, etc. β Store your home Wi-Fi, router admin passwords, children's birth information, utility accounts, and more. β 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.

OXU Drive is a zero-knowledge encrypted vault for your most important files. Everything is encrypted on your device before it's stored or synced β so the cloud, the network, and even we never see your files or your keys. You hold the only key. We can't read your data, and we can't hand it over. WHY OXU DRIVE Most secure storage forces a trade-off: either the provider manages your keys (convenient, but they can decrypt your data) or you go fully offline (private, but no sync). OXU Drive gives you both β strong client-side encryption with seamless multi-device sync. HOW IT WORKS β’ Encrypt on device β every file is encrypted locally the moment you add it, before it touches storage or the network. β’ Sync securely β only encrypted data is uploaded. Our servers store ciphertext and nothing else. β’ Decrypt on device β files are decrypted locally only when you open them. β’ Restore anywhere β recover access on a new device with your personal Recovery Key. There is no server-side key escrow. KEY FEATURES β’ Zero-knowledge encryption β keys are generated and stored only on your device. β’ Encrypted Vaults β protect any file type inside password-protected vaults, each with its own independent keys. β’ Multi-device sync β access your files across your devices with conflict-aware versioning. β’ Secure sharing β share files or folders with up to 5 people, with password protection, expiration dates, and Viewer/Editor roles. β’ Instant lock β seal every vault immediately when you need to. β’ Recovery key β restore your environment without trusting any server with your keys. β’ Built for transparency β our cryptography white paper is published for public review. YOUR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN OXU Drive is built so that privacy isn't a setting you turn on β it's the architecture. Because encryption happens before data leaves your device, your files remain unreadable to anyone but you, even in the event of a server breach or a lost device. Download OXU Drive and take back control of your data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OXU Drive at none against Password Manager's 5. Password Manager's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
