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.

U2 Secured Password Vault
Read full descriptionHide full description
U2 Secured Password Vault is a zero-knowledge password manager. Every password, note, and card is encrypted on your device with a key derived from your master password β so the server stores only unreadable ciphertext and can never see your secrets. WHY U2 SECURED PASSWORD VAULT β’ Zero-knowledge by design β encryption and decryption happen entirely on your device. We can't read your data, and neither can anyone who breaches our servers. β’ Strong cryptography β AES-256-GCM for your items, Argon2id to harden your master password, X25519 for secure sharing. β’ Breach monitoring β your saved passwords are checked against known breach corpora, and anything exposed is flagged on the item and in Alerts, with the number of breaches it appears in. The check never sends your passwords anywhere. β’ Biometric unlock β open your vault with Face ID or Touch ID instead of retyping your master password. β’ Built-in strong password generator β create unique, high-entropy passwords in one tap. β’ Everything in one place β logins, secure notes, credit cards, Wi-Fi, and more, organized in folders. β’ Multiple workspaces β keep personal and team vaults separate, and move between them without signing out. β’ English and French β the app follows your device language, and you can change it any time from the sign-in screen or in Settings. β’ Two-factor login β protect your account with TOTP and trusted-device verification. β’ Secure sharing β send an item through an encrypted, expiring link. Set an expiry, add a passphrase, or burn it after one view. The key travels in the link itself, so we never hold it. β’ Fast and private β a clean, focused interface with no ads and no tracking. HOW IT WORKS Your master password never leaves your device. It derives the key that encrypts your vault, and only a verifier β never the key itself β is sent to the server. Lose the connection, switch devices, or face a server breach: your secrets stay sealed. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants a password manager that genuinely can't read their passwords β individuals, families, and teams that take privacy seriously. Start free. Your vault, your key, your control. Privacy Policy: https://u2secured.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://u2secured.com/terms
