About

TheCode Password Manager

Features
Read full description

TheCode reinvents the password manager: no password is ever stored. They're all regenerated on the fly, locally, from a single secret key that only you know. ---ONE KEY. INFINITE PASSWORDS. --- The idea is simple: you memorize ONE secret key. For each site, TheCode combines your key with the site name and applies a SHA-256 cryptographic function to generate a unique, reproducible password. → Same key + same site = the exact same password, every time. → Different sites = completely different passwords. → No database. No vault to protect. Nothing to sync. ---FEATURES --- • Fully local, deterministic SHA-256 generation • Adjustable length from 4 to 40 characters • Choose your character classes: lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols • Real-time entropy indicator (in bits) and security level • System AutoFill on iPhone, iPad, and Mac: TheCode suggests a password right inside Safari and your apps, confirmed with Face ID or Touch ID • Biometric authentication to reveal the key or authorize filling • One-tap copy to the clipboard • Quick share to your apps • Dark, light, or automatic mode • Clean, native SwiftUI interface • No account required — no ads — no telemetry ---ABSOLUTE PRIVACY --- • Your key NEVER leaves your device. • No password is ever saved, neither locally nor in the cloud. • No internet connection is needed — the app works entirely offline. • Your key is never synced to iCloud or included in backups. • Open source under the Apache 2.0 license: everything is verifiable. No vault = no possible leak. Your passwords exist nowhere until you regenerate them. ---A COMPLETE ECOSYSTEM --- TheCode follows you everywhere, with the same key: • iOS and macOS apps (you're here) • Android app • Browser extensions: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera • Online generator at thecode.julsql.fr The same key on all your platforms gives you back all your passwords, instantly. ---WHO IS IT FOR? --- • You're tired of vaults getting hacked • You want to leave LastPass, 1Password, Bitwarden, or Dashlane • You switch devices often and hate reconfiguring everything • You want to access your accounts without relying on a third-party service • You love elegant, minimalist solutions ---HOW DOES IT WORK? --- 1. Choose a strong secret key (memorize it — it exists only in your head) 2. Enter a site name (e.g. "google.com") 3. Adjust the length and allowed characters 4. The password appears instantly 5. Copy it, share it, or let AutoFill insert it for you To log back in later: same key, same site name → same password. ---OPEN SOURCE & FREE --- TheCode is completely free, with no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads. The code is published under the Apache 2.0 license and can be audited by anyone. Take back control of your passwords. Download TheCode.
