2Pass is a private password manager and 2FA authenticator built for iPhone and iPad. One app replaces both your password manager and Google Authenticator β with Face ID, iCloud Sync and a Recovery Key. === Passwords + 2FA in one place === Every login has its 2FA code right next to the password. Tap once to copy and autofill β no more switching between apps. Add codes by scanning a QR code, importing from photo, or entering a setup key. === What you can store === Passwords and logins with one-tap autofill in Safari and every app. 2FA codes (TOTP) β built-in authenticator that refreshes every 30 seconds. Credit cards with secure card view and clipboard auto-clear. Secure notes: recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, PIN codes. Identities for faster signup forms. === Generator === Create strong passwords from 8 to 128 characters β letters, digits, symbols or passphrases. Exclude look-alike characters in one tap. === Autofill everywhere === 2Pass plugs into the iOS system Password AutoFill API. On iOS 18, your 2FA codes autofill too β one tap and done. No browser extension required. === Watchtower === See which passwords are weak, reused or appeared in public data breaches. Powered by Have I Been Pwned k-anonymity β your actual password never leaves your device. === Why switch from Google Authenticator? === Google Authenticator stores only codes β no passwords, no autofill, no recovery option if you lose your phone. 2Pass keeps codes and passwords together, protected by AES-256 encryption and a Recovery Key you control. === Built for Apple === β Native iPhone and iPad app with adaptive split-view on iPad. β Face ID and Touch ID unlock. β Optional iCloud Sync, end-to-end encrypted. β Keyboard shortcuts on iPad: new item, search, copy password, lock vault. β Spotlight search for item titles. β Offline-first: works without a network connection. === Recovery Key === 2Pass gives you a Recovery Key during setup. Lose your phone? Use the key to restore full access β passwords and 2FA codes alike. The key is generated on your device and never stored on our servers. === Import === Move from 1Password, Bitwarden, Chrome or Keychain in minutes. Import CSV or JSON and 2Pass encrypts everything locally. === Privacy first === β Zero-knowledge: only you can decrypt your vault. β AES-256 encryption with a unique key per item. β No tracking, no analytics, no ads. β Your data never leaves your device unless you enable iCloud Sync. === Subscription === 2Pass is free to try for 3 days.
