TheCode Password Manager

Features
Read full description

TheCode is a password manager that stores no passwords. Each one is recomputed on your device, on demand, from a master key only you know and the site's name. ONE KEY. ONE PASSWORD PER SITE. • Same key + same site = exactly the same password, on every device. • Different sites = unrelated passwords. • Nothing to steal: no password is saved, neither on the device nor on a server. The derivation (PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations, then HMAC-SHA256) is documented, tested and reproducible: your passwords do not depend on any service staying alive. FEATURES • AutoFill on iPhone, iPad and Mac: TheCode offers the password in Safari and in apps, with the account's username • Vault: keep each site's username, length and characters — never the password • System save prompts: TheCode only keeps an account when it can recompute its password • Vault lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your master key • Password masked by default, revealed with one tap • Length from 4 to 40 characters; lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols • Default settings remembered, and shared across your devices with an account • Move your vault to another device with an encrypted QR code • Optional automatic sync, end-to-end encrypted • Sign in with Apple, with Google or with an email address • No ads, no trackers, no analytics PRIVACY • Your master key never leaves your device: it is kept in the keychain. • Without an account, the app contacts no server: everything works offline. • With an account, the vault is encrypted on the device before it leaves: the server sees neither your sites nor your usernames. • The camera is only used to read a transfer QR code; no image is saved. • Open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. EVERYWHERE, WITH THE SAME KEY iPhone, iPad and Mac apps, the Android app, extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Brave, and the website thecode.julsql.fr. The same key gives you the same passwords on each of them, even without sync. FREE Generation, the vault and AutoFill are free and unlimited. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a long master key and remember it: it cannot be recovered. 2. Type a site (e.g. "apple.com") and, if needed, the username. 3. The password appears. Copy it, or let AutoFill insert it. 4. Turn TheCode on in Settings > General > AutoFill & Passwords (iOS), or System Settings > General > AutoFill & Passwords (macOS).

Simplest Password Generator

Features
Read full description

**Simple Password Generator** gives you three ways to create secure credentials — random passwords, word-based passphrases, and PINs — with nothing ever saved, synced, or transmitted. **THREE GENERATOR TYPES** Random Password Full control over length (4–64 characters), character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and an exclude-similar-characters option that removes visually ambiguous characters like l, 1, I, O, 0 — the ones that cause login failures. Passphrase Word-based passwords like velvet-otter-stack-42. Strong enough for any system, memorable enough for a human. Configure word count, separator style, and capitalization. PIN 4 to 12-digit codes with a setting to avoid sequential or repeating digits. **SMART FEATURES** Strength meter — Before you copy, see an instant rating (Weak / Medium / Strong / Very Strong) so you always know what you're working with. Clipboard auto-clear — Copied passwords disappear from your clipboard after 30 seconds automatically, so sensitive data never lingers after you move on. Bulk batch & CSV export — Generate 10, 50, or 100 passwords in one tap using your current settings. Export the batch as a CSV and share it anywhere via the system share sheet — directly to Files, Mail, AirDrop, or any app. **PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE** Every password is generated on-device using a cryptographically secure random process. No account. No cloud. No storage. The passwords exist only in memory for as long as you need them — when you navigate away or close the app, they are gone. Permanently. This app does not collect, store, or transmit your generated passwords. Ever. **FREE TO USE** Supported by a small non-intrusive banner ad. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No ads during generation or when copying passwords. --- Privacy: https://budgex.online/password/policy_password_generator.html Terms: https://budgex.online/password/terms.html Support: https://budgex.online/password/support.html
