DotPass is an app for generating and retrieving passwords. You enter a graphical pattern in a dot grid and a plain text seed word (like "facebook", "reddit", "work" or whatever makes sense to you), and the app then generates a password based on this unique combination you can use for this account. As long as you remember the pattern you've chosen and the seed word for each password, you can get your passwords back any time you need it. But unlike other solutions your passwords are never stored or sent anywhere, so there is no password information on your device or online that can be stolen or lost and you don't need any network access. The idea is that a graphic pattern and plain seed words are much easier to remember than strong passwords. Any change in either pattern or seed word results in a completely different password. So you can decide on one pattern and reuse together with different seed words for different accounts, and get good random-looking different passwords for each account. - All generated passwords contain numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters to fulfill common password criteria. - Select either 9 or 18 character passwords - Once generated you can just tap to copy the password, if you've got Continuity set up you can also paste it in on your mac. - For security app resets and clears any copied passwords from the pasteboard after use. There is also a macOS version of DotPass available in the Mac App Store. So you can easily access the same passwords on your mac as well. To make these passwords secure you must of course keep your pattern and seed words secret, just as you would with your password. If you are worried about someone looking over your shoulder you can use the extra privacy features in the app to hide the pattern, seed or password after entry. For added security the app automatically resets if left in the background more than a minute. For a more in-depth security discussion go to https://www.lostminds.com/dotpass
