Safe, fast and easy to handle, iDataSafe is your wallet to store passwords, codes, bank accounts, credit card access data, the countless authentications of the various web accounts with logins and passwords and all other confidential information for daily use. *** CUSTOMIZABLE iDataSafe is supplied already configured with the following predefined groups: - Bank accounts and related access codes - Credit cards - Web access - Email account - Insurances - Registration codes - Combinations - Cars information - General notes You can change the icons (250+), groups names and field names as you prefer.

If you change something in one device you will find the same change reported in a very short time in the others. *** COPY FUNCTION You can copy a password, an access code, any other data in an iDataSafe record to the clipboard and then paste it, for example, in a text field of the Safari browser, in a login box, in a password box: no need to remember all those lyrics! *** MAXIMUM SECURITY Only one password is required to access all your data: it is stored with AES-256 encryption along with all your confidential data. *** AUTHENTICATION WITH FINGERPRINT OR FACE ID After establishing the unique iDataSafe login password, each time you launch iDataSafe, you can use fingerprint authentication with Touch Id or Face Id technology, on the devices that have them available. *** BACKUP ENCRYPTED IN THE CLOUD AND EASY RESTORE For added security, to save and retrieve data in case you want to create safe copies of your archive, on a certain date, you can also use Dropbox cloud services.

Share a password with anyone, free. No invite, no family plan, no second subscription, and the person you send it to does not need a paid account to open it. Most password managers treat sharing as the upsell. IronCrypto does not. Unlimited passwords, unlimited passkeys, autofill, a strong password generator, sync across your devices, and encrypted sharing are all on the free tier. IronCrypto helps you keep your passwords and personal data secure and accessible across any device or browser. The app is built around three tenets: security, simplicity and accessibility. **Security** Security is our number one priority. IronCrypto encrypts all your data on your device using AES-256 with your own master password. Your master password is never transmitted to our servers, so your data arrives fully encrypted and is only readable by you. We run on Google Cloud for its reliability, scalability and security. Because your data is encrypted before it ever reaches us, even in the event of a breach your information remains completely safe. We cannot read, store or sell your data, and we would not want to. When you share a login, it is re-encrypted specifically for the recipient's key before it is sent. Nothing is ever shared in plain text. One tradeoff, said plainly: there is no password recovery. Forget your master password and the vault is gone, and we cannot get it back for you. That is the cost of zero knowledge, and we would rather say it here than bury it in an FAQ. **Simplicity** IronCrypto is built on the belief that less is more. You never have to tap through dozens of categories to find or create a password. A powerful search lets you find entries by title, URL, username or notes. Labels help you organize and filter passwords by category: work, shopping, banking and more. Adding a password is fast: fill in only what you need. IronCrypto can also generate strong, unique passwords so you never have to think one up yourself. The secure autofill extension works directly in your browser and apps, so your credentials are always one tap away. **Accessibility** Security is a right, not a privilege. IronCrypto is free for all users, with no subscription required to keep your passwords safe or to share them. All you need is a Google or Apple account, which acts as a second layer of authentication. To access your data someone would need to compromise your Google or Apple account and know your master password. IronCrypto Pro is 3.99 a month and adds encrypted document storage, document sharing and bigger secure notes. Passwords and passkeys stay free. IronCrypto has proudly served thousands of customers and our mission remains the same: make it easy for everyone to keep their sensitive data secure.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IronCrypto at 4.7 against iDataSafe's 3.6. IronCrypto also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 55%). iDataSafe's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
