Cipher Authenticator
Local 2FA Authenticator

Strong security made simple. Generate 2FA codes instantly, even when you’re offline. Cipher keeps your secrets encrypted, offline and always under your control.
Cipher - Offline 2FA Authenticator
Secure your logins with privacy-first two-factor authentication.
Cipher is a local-first authenticator app designed to keep your 2FA codes truly private and within your control. It generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) entirely on your device - no accounts, no cloud sync, and no external storage.
Your authentication secrets are encrypted and stored locally using secure iOS technologies. Cipher never uploads or shares your data - not even for backups - ensuring that only you have access to your 2FA codes.

Why Cipher
In a world where privacy often takes a back seat, Cipher puts you firmly in charge of your security. It’s a lightweight, modern alternative to cloud-based authenticators, offering the same reliability with none of the data trade-offs.
Cipher doesn’t require sign-up or internet access. Every code is generated and stored offline, so even if your device is disconnected, your authentication still works seamlessly.

Privacy by Design
Cipher was built from the ground up around one principle: your data should stay yours.
Unlike traditional 2FA apps that depend on online sync or user accounts, Cipher functions entirely offline. The app does not connect to external servers or log user behavior. Your secrets are encrypted and stored only on your device’s secure storage.
We believe privacy isn’t a feature - it’s the foundation. Cipher doesn’t ask for unnecessary permissions or collect any form of analytics. What happens inside your device stays there.
