Most authenticator apps show you codes. TokenVault shows you your whole security picture — what is protected, what is not, and exactly what to fix next. A private, offline-first security companion for iPhone. No account. No tracking. Your codes never leave your device unless you choose to back them up — encrypted, with a passphrase only you hold. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Security Score — a live 0–100 score for your account security, with a clear breakdown and one-tap fixes. Watch it climb as your protection improves. • 2FA Coverage Gaps — see popular services you use that support authenticator codes but are not protected yet, with step-by-step guides to enable them. • Decoy Vault — a separate duress PIN opens a believable second vault, keeping your real one out of sight if you are ever forced to unlock. Face ID always opens your real vault. • AutoFill with Verified Domains — on iOS 18, your codes appear right above the keyboard in Safari and in apps. If the site does not match the account a code belongs to, you see a clear warning before it fills. A calm, practical layer against phishing. • Offline Device-to-Device Transfer — moving to a new iPhone? Hand off your entire vault with an animated QR transfer. No account, no cloud, no network — nothing is transmitted. • Privacy Shield — codes stay hidden until you tap, the app blurs itself in the app switcher, and if a screenshot or screen recording is detected, codes are masked instantly. • Smart Organization — automatic icon matching, duplicate detection with safe merge, and a cleanup assistant for stale or broken entries. A vault with a hundred codes stays effortless. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE PROPERLY • Standard TOTP codes (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, 6 or 8 digits) compatible with thousands of services • Add accounts by QR scan or manual entry; import from Google Authenticator and other apps • Face ID and PIN lock, with per-account Face ID for your most sensitive codes • Encrypted iCloud backups protected by a passphrase only you know • Pinned favorites, folders, instant search, and one-tap copy with an auto-clearing clipboard • Smooth, quiet animations throughout — fast, fluid, and respectful of Reduce Motion PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline — code generation never touches a network • No account, no email, no analytics profiles • Secrets live in an encrypted vault, with keys protected by the iOS Keychain • Backups and transfers are end-to-end encrypted with your passphrase Two-factor codes are among the strongest protections your accounts can have. this app makes them effortless — and shows you where you still need them.
