Security Authenticator provides an all-in-one security solution featuring two-factor authentication, password management, AutoFill, and private browsing. Store authentication accounts and website passwords in an encrypted vault, protected by Face ID and an independent app lock password for safer and more convenient everyday sign-ins. Core Features Two-Factor Authentication Codes: Add 2FA accounts by scanning a QR code or manually entering a secret key. The app automatically generates dynamic verification codes and supports standard TOTP and HOTP protocols for websites, email services, and other online platforms. Secure Password Management: Store website addresses, usernames, passwords, and notes in one place, reducing the security risks of reusing the same password. All password data is encrypted and stored in a secure local vault. Strong Password Generator: Quickly generate strong random passwords. Customize password length and choose whether to include numbers, symbols, and other character types, helping you use a unique password for every website. iOS AutoFill: Use iOS AutoFill in Safari and other compatible apps. Select saved credentials from the system credential interface and fill them after biometric authentication. Face ID Protection: Unlock the app and authorize AutoFill using Face ID. You can also access your vault with an independent app lock password, preventing unauthorized access to your verification codes and passwords. Encrypted iCloud Sync: Sync your encrypted vault data to your personal iCloud account and keep authentication accounts and passwords consistent across your own Apple devices. Private Browser: Browse the web in a separate private environment without retaining long-term login sessions or browsing data. When a browsing session is closed, the app clears its associated cache, cookies, and temporary data. User Experience and Benefits Quick Account Setup: Scan a 2FA QR code provided by a website to complete setup and start viewing verification codes. Secret keys can also be entered manually. Encrypted Sensitive Data: 2FA secret keys, website passwords, notes, and other sensitive information are stored in an encrypted vault.

Fewer Copy-and-Paste Steps: Use the iOS AutoFill extension to select passwords or dynamic verification codes directly on supported login pages, reducing the need to switch between apps. Password History: Keep a limited history of recent passwords when making changes, helping you verify previous updates without accumulating sensitive information indefinitely.
