No internet. Not even a little.
VoicuPass does not have Android's permission to use the internet, so it cannot connect to anything. It works exactly the same in airplane mode.
Password manager for Android
VoicuPass keeps your passwords encrypted on your phone. There is no account to create, no server of ours, and the app has no permission to use the internet. If you ever need it, a printed Emergency sheet lets you, or someone you trust, get back in.
Three promises
Most password managers keep a copy of your vault on their servers. VoicuPass was built the other way around: we have no server at all.
VoicuPass does not have Android's permission to use the internet, so it cannot connect to anything. It works exactly the same in airplane mode.
No sign-up, no server, no database of everyone's passwords waiting to leak. Your passwords are kept on your phone, encrypted. A safe copy you save, or Android's automatic backup, is encrypted too.
When you set it up, VoicuPass gives you an Emergency sheet to print. On your phone it lets you choose a new code if you forget yours. On a new phone, together with a safe copy or Android's backup, it opens your passwords again.
How it works
No account to create, no email to confirm. You open the app and follow three steps.
Add your fingerprint or secure face unlock if you like.
Keep it at home, somewhere safe, the way you keep cash or a passport.
Type them in, or bring them all at once from Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Bitwarden, 1Password or LastPass. Then delete the exported file.
Inside the app
VoicuPass does the everyday things well and keeps the screens simple.
Security
In plain words first. The technical details are below for anyone who wants to check our work.
Encryption. AES-256-GCM with a random 256-bit data key.
Ways in, each wrapping the same data key. The 6-digit code (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 100,000 rounds, then a chain of HMAC rounds with a non-exportable key in Android Keystore: StrongBox when the phone has it, hardware-backed unless the phone has no secure hardware); the 128-bit recovery key printed on the Emergency sheet; and, if you turn it on, a fingerprint key that needs your fingerprint for every use.
Wrong codes. Each attempt is counted before it is checked, and the waits survive a restart.
Files. No INTERNET permission. Android's backup may include only the encrypted vault file. The file stores a vault id, the sheet number and the sheet date in plain form; everything else is encrypted.
Questions
No. The app has no internet access and we run no server. Anything that leaves your phone, a safe copy you save or Android's own backup, is encrypted and opens only with your Emergency sheet.
Install VoicuPass on the new phone and open your safe copy, or Android's automatic backup if it was on, with the recovery key from your Emergency sheet. Make a safe copy now and then, and keep it away from the phone.
Use your fingerprint, if you turned it on and have not added a new fingerprint since, or your Emergency sheet, and choose a new code. After a reset with a fingerprint, deleting for good also needs your sheet for the next 3 days.
Then, unless your fingerprint still opens it, nobody can open those passwords, not even us. That is the price of a lock with no spare key in someone else's drawer. You can start again with an empty vault.
Not today. VoicuPass is an Android app.
