About

Cipher Key

Features
Read full description

Security you don’t have to memorize. Most password generators create strings of characters that are impossible to type and even harder to remember. CipherKey takes a different approach, focusing on high-entropy passwords that make sense to humans but are a nightmare for hackers. The Signature Feature: Memory Mode The biggest pain point of security is forgetting your own keys. Memory Mode solves this by combining real English words with symbols and numbers. The result is a passphrase that is easy to visualize and type on a mobile keyboard, but mathematically impossible to brute-force. Expand Your Vocabulary: We pull from a library of thousands of words. We occasionally include rare words to boost security. Learn While You Lock: Not sure what a word means? CipherKey displays the definition right in the generator. Improve your vocabulary while you secure your digital life. Dual-Mode Generation Memory Mode: Human-friendly, word-based passphrases for your most-used accounts. Classic Mode: High-randomness alphanumeric strings for maximum-security vault keys. Built to Your Specs The 12-32 Range: Stay within the security sweet spotβ€”long enough to be unhackable, but short enough to fit any site’s requirements. Deep Customization: Toggle symbols, numbers, and casing with a single tap to meet specific website rules. Grounded Security Native Encryption: We use the device’s own secure systems (Keychain) to ensure no one can read your passwords but you. On-Device Only: Your passwords never leave your phone. We do not have servers, so we cannot see your data. Biometric App Lock: Keep snoopers out by enabling a mandatory fingerprint or FaceID scan every time the app opens. Pure Experience No Ads: We believe security tools should be clean and distraction-free. No Tracking: We do not collect your data or monitor your usage. No Subscriptions: All features are available without recurring fees.
