2021.4 16/11/2021
Cryptical is now using a new version numbering scheme (year + release number of that year). So don't be surprised to see a sudden jump from version 4 to version 2021 ;-)
New features:
• Character inclusions. You can select individual characters that should always be used when generating a random password. Note that this will impact the randomness of the password and make it less secure.
• For passphrases, there is a new separator option, "Random symbol", which will separate passphrases with a randomly generated symbol (!@#$%^ etc.)
2021.3 10/11/2021
- Several bug fixes
- It is now possible to reset an existing passcode and all data from the passcode lock screen
4.0.1 24/08/2021
Thank you for using Cryptical! This update is a major new version with a ton of improvements:
New features:
• You can now exclude specific characters from randomly generated passwords
• If you have protected Cryptical with a passcode, you can set an unlock phase during which Cryptical does not require additional authentication when leaving the app and returning
• Support for Dark Mode with a new cool dark theme
• Support for iOS 14 and the new iOS devices
Improvements
• General design refreshment: all icons have been replaced by newer, more clearer alternatives and the general look and feel is more modern
• The Batch Generator received a major overhaul. It now supports all password and passphrase options, indepent from the general settings of the app
• Improved accessibility: VoiceOver should work more reliable with Cryptical
• Entries in Password List now show the first line of comment for a better overview
• Fixed several bugs and made performance improvements
Cryptical now has a Tip Jar! If you ever wanted to make a small contribution to Cryptical's development, you can now tip me a small amount of money. Tips are completely optional; all features are also available for free. If you enjoy using Cryptical, consider supporting its further development - thank you!
Please note: Cryptical is a hobby project. I simply don't have the time or resources to support various legacy iOS version. For this reason Cryptical now requires iOS 13. Sorry to all the folks with older devices.
4.0 28/01/2021
Smaller bug fixes and improvements for users with Face ID.
3.3 05/05/2018
Cryptical is now ready for iOS 11 and the new iPhones.
3.2 19/09/2017
Thanks for using Cryptical! This update adds a new feature: Passphrases.
Passphrases are sequences of words combined with a separator. With sufficient length, they are as secure or even more secure than passwords, but much easier to memorise. Here are a couple of passphrases as examples:
saggiest-image-backspaced
comedic-millings-storying
roadwork-betiding
Cryptical uses a list of over 87.000 English words to generate strong but very convenient passphrases. For added security, you can include mixed upper/lowercase characters and substitute letters with numbers. Make "re57orerS-FaWny-truly" your new Email password ;-)
This version also introduces a more reliable random number generator, leading to statistically more secure passwords, and it fixes several smaller issues.

3.1 16/05/2017
This version fixes several smaller bugs and adds haptic feedback for iPhone 7/7 plus users.

• Fixed a bug that caused crashes after all passwords were removed from the password list
• Fixed a bug that caused the password strength meter to display password strength even though all character sets were excluded
• Added icons to springboard quick actions
• Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements
3.0.1 10/02/2016
Cryptical is still alive and kicking! After almost five years, a major update! Wohoo! Here's what's new. Please note that Cryptical now requires iOS 9, which is admittedly quite a difference to the previous requirement of iOS 3.1.3. So if you're still clinging to that old iPhone 3G of yours, let go. Do it for yourself.
Big stuff:
- All new interface design. This includes support for all iPhone sizes. It's also still rather darkish in case you're allergic to bright light (see, I'm thinking of you, system admins!)
- Password list is now an actual database rather than a flat XML file.
- Passcode and Touch-ID protection in the app can be set to protect you from eavesdropping by strangers using your phone.
- App shortcuts via 3D-Touch on iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus.
- The password list supports "Peek" and "Pop" on iPhone 6s/iPhone 6s Plus.
- Password details: add notes to each password, and show meta data (creation date, length, strength)
- New "Share" shortcut lets you share your newly generated password(s) with other apps and/or people. Just don't tweet your new Email password by accident, ok?
- Batch password generation. Ever needed 100 unique passwords at once? Well now you can create them without much hassle.
- Completely rewritten from the ground up, in Swift! I'm not kidding. Percentage of old code in this release: 0%. Including snarky code comments.
Minor stuff:
- Included characters types can now be changed directly on the generator type rather than having to open settings to do this.
- Some improvements to the password generator engine
Also Cryptical is now FREE! Free as in beer! What are you waiting for?!
3.0 05/11/2015
!! Important: "Cryptical Pro" is now simply named "Cryptical". The free version which was previously named this way is not available any more. The feature set of the previous "Pro" version remains unchanged, of course.
Other changes:
- Changed the Password List icons
- Updated contact/support info on the info screen
- Bug fixes
2.1.1 22/06/2011
- NEW! Added an option to avoid duplicated characters:
You can find this option on the preferences screen. When it is activated, Cryptical will use each character only once per Password, making it more secure. Please note that this will effectively limited the maximum Password length – depending on the characters sets you have selected and whether you have actived the "Pronounceable" option.
- NEW! Added a print function for devices that support AirPrint:
To print, add Passwords to your Password List, open the list, choose which Passwords to print, and touch the print symbol in the bottom toolbar. Please note that printing will only work on devices that support AirPrint. If you can't see the print symbol on the Password List toolbar, your device does not support AirPrint.
- OTHER CHANGES: several bug fixes and other improvements, updated Password List toolbar (uses symbols now instead of text)
2.1 18/12/2010
Fixed a bug that caused Cryptical Pro to crash on some devices when using the Password List or Add-To-List-Button.
