Phrase Manager keeps your passwords, passkeys, verification codes and confidential records on your iPhone, encrypted and behind Face ID. No account. No servers. No ads or tracking. Nothing leaves your iPhone. YOUR MAIN MANAGER ON IPHONE Turn it on in Settings › General › AutoFill & Passwords and your passwords appear above the keyboard in Safari and in apps. You can also save new passwords from Safari and let Phrase Manager generate the strong password each site asks for. PASSKEYS Create passkeys on sites that already accept them and sign in with Face ID alone. They are stored encrypted in your vault. TWO-STEP VERIFICATION CODES Scan the site's QR code and your codes live next to the password, with a countdown and AutoFill. MUCH MORE THAN PASSWORDS Private notes, bank accounts, cards, social security, ID documents, Wi-Fi networks, licenses and security questions. Sensitive numbers stay masked and ask for Face ID before they are revealed. CAPTURE WITH THE CAMERA Photograph a router label or a letter from the bank: the app reads the text and lets you check it character by character, highlighting the ones that get confused (0 and O, 1 and l). SMART IMPORT Paste an email or pick a photo and the app fills in a record for you to review. The analysis happens on your iPhone, using the on-device language model when your iPhone supports it. GENERATOR Memorable phrases in Spanish or English, random passwords or PINs, always with the real strength of each option. VAULT HEALTH See at a glance which passwords are weak, reused or overdue. A BACKUP YOU CAN ACTUALLY KEEP Create an encrypted backup file with a passphrase you choose and store it wherever you like. It is the only way to move to another iPhone, because nobody else holds your data. PRIVACY Everything is encrypted with AES-256 and the key lives in the iOS keychain behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. The developer cannot see or recover your information.
