Local-First & Secure: A New Open-Source Password Manager Enters the Scene

A new open‑source password manager, 2Fas Pass, has entered the market with a local‑first design to maximise security, according to 2Fas Auth. The service requires no account creation and stores data locally on iOS and Android, with encrypted local data optionally backed up to iCloud or Google Drive, while desktop browser extensions retrieve data directly from the mobile app.

It uses a zero‑knowledge architecture to protect data both at rest and in transit, and its avoidance of cloud synchronization is pitched as a security benefit. The free version supports up to 200 accounts and a single browser extension, while the paid tier at $10 per year lifts these limits to allow unlimited browser extensions and unrestricted autofill. One notable feature is the ability to mark accounts as Secret, Highly Secret, or Top Secret, with varying autofill capabilities.

According to ProtonMail, which recently introduced Proton Pass, the arrival of new password managers is changing the landscape, though 2Fas Pass currently has no standalone desktop client.
