The password manager market has welcomed a new contender: the developers of the open-source authenticator 2Fas Auth have announced the launch of 2Fas Pass, a password manager designed with a local-first approach to maximize security.
Most existing password managers support cloud synchronization, which offers the convenience of seamless access to data across devices. However, storing credentials in the cloud introduces security risks—particularly when both account passwords and MFA codes are kept within the same manager.
2Fas Pass requires no account creation, and none of the data is synchronized to the cloud. On iOS and Android, data is stored locally (with encrypted local data optionally backed up to iCloud or Google Drive), while desktop browser extensions must retrieve data directly from the mobile app.
The manager itself employs a zero-knowledge architecture to protect data both at rest and in transit. Combined with its avoidance of cloud synchronization, this design makes it a highly secure option.
The free version of 2Fas Pass allows storage of up to 200 accounts and passwords and supports the installation of a single browser extension. For those who subscribe to the paid tier—priced at $10 per year—these restrictions are lifted, enabling unlimited browser extensions and unrestricted autofill functionality.
Currently, the service lacks a standalone desktop client, leaving iOS and Android as the primary platforms for data entry and editing. It remains to be seen whether the company will eventually develop desktop applications for added convenience.
One standout feature of 2Fas Pass is the ability to assign security levels to individual accounts: Secret, Highly Secret, and Top Secret. Accounts labeled as Secret support autofill and integration with extensions; Highly Secret credentials require manual confirmation before autofill; while Top Secret accounts are fully isolated, prohibiting autofill altogether and requiring manual entry.
The arrival of new players in the password manager market is always welcome. Recently, ProtonMail introduced its own solution, Proton Pass. Each password manager brings its own distinct strengths, allowing users to compare and choose the tool that best fits their security needs.
