About

Passwordable

Read full description

Passwordable is an app that provides a custom keyboard for generating and entering a password easily. When you sign up for a new service, one thing you can't avoid is to register a new password. In many cases, iOS will suggest a unique password that will suffice, but there are times when the suggested password won't work because it exceeds the number of characters that can be registered, or because the available character types don't match. When you're in a hurry, it's really frustrating, and you tend to run away with an same old password even though you know it's not good. The solution is Passwordable, an app that allows you to easily generate and enter passwords that meet the requirements of new member registration with its custom keyboard. It's easy to use. For example, if you are accessing a new service in Safari and are opening a registration form, just switch to Passwordable's custom keyboard in the password input field. It will instantly generate a password on the keyboard according to the site's requirements, and you can enter it directly. No need to leave Safari in the meantime. In addition, Passwordable's keyboard does not access the Internet at all, so you can use it safely! ● Disclaimers In some apps and sites, switching the keyboard in the password input field may be prohibited. Please note that in such cases, the custom keyboard of this app cannot be used. However, we have prepared a keyboard in the main app for such cases. You can copy the password generated by the keyboard of the main app and paste it back into the app or website. ● Features ○ Keyboard with built-in password generator ○ Easy to use password length selection function ○ Can change the input character type. ○ Password history function ● Privacy, that matters  ・Keyboard   - No Network Access  ・App   - No Permission Required   - No ads After careful consideration, we have decided not to display any ads, as protecting your privacy will lead to the reliability of this app. If you like this app, please consider purchasing a paid add-on from within the app! ■ Subscription (Paid Add-on) Notice If you purchase the add-on, you can use the following functions. - The password length can be selected within the range of 4 to 128 characters (16 to 24 characters in the free version). - Up to 20 passwords can be saved in the password history (3 passwords in the free version) - About the free trial (trial offer) The first week is a free trial period.
