IronKey is a secure password manager that stores your passwords locally on your device using military-grade AES-256 encryption. No cloud servers. No internet required. Your passwords never leave your device. SECURE PASSWORD VAULT WITH AES-256 ENCRYPTION IronKey password manager uses AES-256-GCM encryption β€” the same encryption standard trusted by governments and military organizations β€” to protect every piece of data you store. Unlike cloud-based password managers, IronKey keeps your encrypted password vault entirely offline on your device. Your encryption key is generated and stored inside your device's hardware-backed secure enclave. It cannot be extracted, copied, or accessed by any app, server, or person β€” including us. This is the most secure password storage method available. WHY CHOOSE IRONKEY PASSWORD MANAGER? Military-Grade Encryption AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption protects all your stored data β€” passwords, usernames, website URLs, notes, and titles. Every field is fully encrypted at rest. Offline Password Manager β€” No Cloud Required IronKey is a completely offline password vault. Your passwords are never uploaded, synced, or transmitted. No servers means no data breaches. The safest password is one that never touches the internet. Biometric Login β€” Face ID and Touch ID Unlock your password vault instantly with Face ID or Touch ID. Fast, convenient, and secure biometric access. Brute-Force Protection Your PIN is secured with PBKDF2 key stretching (100,000 iterations). After multiple failed unlock attempts, IronKey activates a security lockout timer to protect against unauthorized access. Auto-Lock and Clipboard Security IronKey automatically locks your password vault after a period of inactivity. Passwords copied to clipboard are automatically cleared after 30 seconds, leaving no trace. Password Generator Generate strong, random passwords with letters, numbers, and special characters. Create unique passwords for every account to maximize your online security. Organize With Categories Sort your passwords into customizable categories. Create, rename, and manage categories to keep your password vault organized. Search, sort by name or date, and filter by category. Favorite Passwords Mark frequently used passwords as favorites for quick access at the top of your vault.
