Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Authenticator Password Manager at none against Secure by Frontier's shown. Authenticator Password Manager also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 15%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Secure by Frontier's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (407 vs 56). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Secure by Frontier holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Secure by Frontier has 407 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Authenticator Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 15% of Secure by Frontier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Authenticator Password Manager ships an update every 5 weeks, Secure by Frontier every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
