The best password manager apps for iPhone
With password managers you only have to remember one master password for all accounts. We introduce you to the best iPhone apps.
5th place: iPIN - password manager with sensor field
"iPin" sets itself apart from the competition because of the unusual way it deals with the master password: Here you swipe on a path you have defined on a sensor field. Only enter the known master password after the third unsuccessful attempt. However, the strange jumble of letters and numbers disturbs when looking at your passwords, as does the missing generator.

3rd place: pwSafe - great features, but unfortunately in English
There is almost nothing to complain about about the iOS app "pwSafe": everything basic is included and you can even export your passwords as encrypted PDFs, look up a history and synchronize them with other devices. Unfortunately, the "pwSafe" is only available in English, which is impractical due to the non-self-explanatory functions. Good knowledge of English is imperative.
