Read full descriptionHide full description
Authenticator helps you manage authentication codes and organize your saved credentials on iPhone and iPad. KEY FEATURES ⢠Authentication codes: Generate TOTP and HOTP codes for compatible online services. Add accounts by scanning a QR code or entering setup details. ⢠Encrypted local vault: Store logins, passwords, payment details, Wi-Fi credentials and notes in an encrypted file on your device. ⢠Optional iCloud backup: Back up and restore your vault through your private Apple CloudKit database. Cloud backups use Apple's CloudKit protections; local vault encryption does not mean app-managed end-to-end encryption of cloud backups. ⢠Security checks: Check passwords against Pwned Passwords and manually check an email using LeakCheck. Checks require a network connection and reflect the providers' available records; no match is not a guarantee of safety. ⢠Private browsing sessions: Browse using nonpersistent website storage. Websites still receive normal requests, and bookmarks you choose to save remain available. ⢠Password generator: Create random passwords with your preferred length and character options. ⢠AutoFill: Use supported saved credentials in Safari and compatible apps. ⢠App lock: Protect access to the app with a PIN and supported biometric authentication. Some features require a subscription. Prices and available offers are shown in the app before purchase.

A phone storage cleaner that finds duplicate photos, similar shots, screenshots and heavy videos, so you can free up space on your iPhone in a few taps. SEE WHERE YOUR SPACE GOES Your library is sorted into clear groups: duplicates, similar photos, blurry shots, screenshots, screen recordings and Live Photos. Open a group, keep the shots you love and delete the rest. Nothing is removed until you confirm, and Photos keeps deleted items in Recently Deleted for 30 days. SWIPE THROUGH YOUR MEMORIES Review your camera roll month by month, one photo at a time. Swipe to keep or delete, and see how much space each month gave back. It is the easiest way to clean up years of photos without feeling overwhelmed. COMPRESS PHOTOS AND VIDEOS Create lighter copies of your largest photos and videos with three quality levels. Copies keep their original date, location and albums, and you decide when to delete the originals. CLEAR OUT CHAT DOWNLOADS Images and videos saved from chats and the web pile up quietly. Find them in one place and remove the ones you no longer need. ORGANIZE YOUR CONTACTS Merge duplicate contacts, fix incomplete ones and back up your address book on your iPhone before making changes. CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR DATA BREACHES Find out if your email address appeared in a known data breach, see which data was exposed and what to do next. KEEP PRIVATE PHOTOS PRIVATE Move personal photos and videos into a Secure Library protected with a PIN, separate from your main gallery. MORE TO EXPLORE Pick a charging animation that plays when you plug in, and plan your days in a calendar with notes, tasks and your own style. Photos and videos are analyzed on your iPhone and are never uploaded to our servers. SUBSCRIPTION Some features require a premium subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://galuxidev.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://galuxidev.com/privacy.html

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