2Pass
Read full descriptionHide full description
2Pass is a private password manager and 2FA authenticator built for iPhone and iPad. One app replaces both your password manager and Google Authenticator — 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 — 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) — 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 — 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 — 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 — your actual password never leaves your device. === Why switch from Google Authenticator? === Google Authenticator stores only codes — 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 === — Native iPhone and iPad app with adaptive split-view on iPad. — Face ID and Touch ID unlock. — Optional iCloud Sync, end-to-end encrypted. — Keyboard shortcuts on iPad: new item, search, copy password, lock vault. — Spotlight search for item titles. — 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 — 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 === — Zero-knowledge: only you can decrypt your vault. — AES-256 encryption with a unique key per item. — No tracking, no analytics, no ads. — Your data never leaves your device unless you enable iCloud Sync. === Subscription === 2Pass is free to try for 3 days. After the trial: — 2Pass Premium Monthly — $4.99 / month — 2Pass Premium Yearly — $49.99 / year (Save 16%, about $4.17 / month) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in your App Store account settings after purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CardDAV Contacts at none against 2Pass's 2. CardDAV Contacts also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). 2Pass's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
