Authenticator
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.

CamSave
Read full descriptionHide full description
CamSave watches and records small Wi-Fi "mini cameras": the cube cameras that make a Wi-Fi hotspot called BK… and are usually set up with the iWFCam app. Viewing works on your own network by default, with no account or monthly fee. Recordings stay on your devices. The Windows hub also offers optional end-to-end encrypted Pro viewing away from home. USE YOUR IPHONE AS A CAMERA • Send this iPhone's camera picture to CamSave on your Windows PC over the same Wi-Fi. • Find your PC automatically or enter its local address, with a live preview and clear setup guidance. • Choose the lens, video size, frame rate and quality, with optional microphone sound. • Record MP4 clips on your PC and control recording from either device. • Requires the latest Windows hub with Phone cameras support. Keep CamSave open and the iPhone unlocked while streaming. FIND AND WATCH • Cameras on your Wi-Fi show up by themselves. • Live picture and sound, with the camera's battery level. • Watch every camera at once. • Also works with IP cameras that offer an MJPEG or JPEG address on your network (ESP32-CAM and similar). RECORD • Record videos (MP4 with sound) and take photos straight into Photos. CAMERA SETTINGS • Brightness, contrast, flip and mirror. • Night vision on/off, or on a daily schedule. • SD card in the camera: free space, loop recording, record sound, format. • Recordings on the camera's card: list them, copy them to Photos, delete them. • Change the camera password, move the camera from its hotspot onto your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi, restart, factory reset. • Sets the camera's clock and time zone for you. SET UP A NEW CAMERA Join the camera's own hotspot in Settings → Wi-Fi, open CamSave, find it, and move it onto your home Wi-Fi. CamSave is an independent app by Panaweb LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to iWFCam or any camera maker; product names are trademarks of their owners.

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