Built on the open KDBX standard (compatible with KeePass and KeePassXC), LumenPass gives you a beautifully designed, modern interface without locking you into a proprietary format. Your data stays yours. WHY LUMENPASS • Zero-knowledge by design — your vault is encrypted on your device before it’s ever synced. Only you hold the key. • Open format, no lock-in — works with the industry-standard KDBX 4 file format. • Premium experience — a clean, fast, thoughtfully designed interface inspired by the best. • Cross-platform — your vault travels with you between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux, and your browser. SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST • Master password protection with optional Key File for two-factor vault access • Face ID and Touch ID unlock • AES-256 / ChaCha20 encryption with Argon2 key derivation • Auto-lock with configurable timeout • Automatic clipboard clearing after copy • Screenshot blocking to keep your secrets off screen recorders • Secrets stored in the iOS Keychain — never in plain text ONE-TAP AUTOFILL LumenPass plugs directly into iOS AutoFill so your saved logins and passkeys appear right above the keyboard in Safari and your favorite apps. Sign in instantly without ever leaving the screen you’re on. • Native iOS Credential Provider Extension • Passkey assertion support • Secure communication via App Group and Keychain Sharing EVERYTHING IN ONE VAULT LumenPass goes far beyond passwords.

LumenPass generates time-based one-time codes right next to the login they belong to. Scan a QR code with your camera, and you’re done. PASSWORD GENERATOR Create strong, unique passwords for every account with a powerful built-in generator. Customize length, character sets, and complexity to match each site’s rules.

P.S. Vault

Features
Read full description

P.S. Vault is a zero-knowledge secure vault with a built-in Emergency Switch. Store your most important information, encrypted and private — and know it will reach the right people if you're ever unable to hand it over yourself. HOW IT WORKS Configure a check-in schedule that works for you — daily, weekly, or monthly. P.S. Vault sends friendly reminders when it's time to check in. If you stop responding, it escalates — and if you still don't respond, your vaults are securely delivered to the people you've named as beneficiaries. WHAT YOU CAN STORE • Logins & passwords • Secure notes • Financial accounts & credit cards • Identity documents • Crypto wallets & seed phrases • Files & attachments • Contact information • Custom fields ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION Your data is encrypted on your device before it ever reaches the server. Not even the server administrator can read your vault contents. All encryption uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2id key derivation. EMERGENCY SWITCH Set your own check-in schedule and receive friendly reminders. If you miss too many, P.S. Vault alerts your trusted contacts and delivers your vaults to your named beneficiaries — with identity verification to ensure only the right people gain access. Pause the switch anytime when you travel or take a break. BENEFICIARY PROTECTION Assign different people to different vaults. Require identity verification (shared secret + SMS code) before anyone can view your data. Add trusted contacts who are notified but never receive vault contents. SELF-HOSTED & PRIVATE P.S. Vault connects to your own self-hosted server. Your data never passes through third-party infrastructure. Deploy with Docker in minutes on any server or home lab. MORE FEATURES • Face ID / Touch ID check-in via push notification • Offline read-only access to your vaults • Version history for every entry • Beneficiary preview mode — see exactly what they'll see • Import from 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, and KeePass • Secure clipboard with auto-clear P.S. Vault is a personal tool for sharing information with loved ones. It is not a substitute for a legal will or estate plan.
