Phrase Manager keeps your passwords, passkeys, verification codes and confidential records encrypted on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, behind Face ID or Touch ID. No account. No servers of our own. No ads or tracking. Sync is optional, travels through your own iCloud and is encrypted on your device, so only you can read it. YOUR MAIN PASSWORD MANAGER 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. NOW ON THE MAC The same vault in a native Mac app, with a sidebar, menu commands and keyboard shortcuts. Fill passwords, passkeys and codes in Safari and unlock with Touch ID. One app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. SYNC THAT ONLY YOU CAN READ Turn on iCloud Sync and every record is encrypted on your device before it travels through your own iCloud. The vault key never goes to iCloud: you link each device once by scanning a QR code and comparing a 6-digit code. Sync stays off until you turn it on. 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 device, using the on-device language model when your device 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, overdue or saved twice. A BACKUP YOU CAN ACTUALLY KEEP Create an encrypted backup file with a passphrase you choose and store it wherever you like. PRIVACY Everything is encrypted with AES-256 and the key lives in the keychain behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. The developer cannot see or recover your information.
