Loop8 Kills the Master Password
Nothing to remember. And the password manager is only one part: Loop8 is a privacy controller covering notes, private messaging and two-factor codes, all behind your biometrics.
Most password managers and secure note apps encrypt what users give them and then keep it on company servers, which puts millions of vaults in one place for a single breach to expose. Loop8 has no such place. Everything a user stores is encrypted on the phone, and the backup copy goes automatically to the user's own iCloud account on iOS or Google account on Android. The encryption key never leaves the device, so even that backup cannot be opened without the phone.
Data does travel through Loop8's servers to reach another device, encrypted end to end with keys that stay on user devices, so the company cannot read what it carries and keeps no copy after delivery.
Registration takes two pieces of information, an email address and a phone number. Loop8 does not ask for a name, a home address, an age or a gender.
A master password is also the thing people end up writing down, and the thing an attacker can talk them out of. Phishing works because a secret can be repeated to a stranger over the phone. No one can be talked into handing over a fingerprint. Loop8 has no password to write down, and none to hand over.
If the phone is lost
The encrypted backup in the user's own cloud is still there, but it cannot be opened without the key from the lost device. That is where trusted contacts come in. Loop8 asks users to name people they trust, and those people are what restores access. There is no reset link to click, and Loop8 cannot restore an account itself, because it never held the content or the key.
What's in the privacy controller
Free with the app
- Note8. A one-page notes app behind the user's biometrics, built for people who have a hard time with password managers, including older users. It can also copy a protected note into a family member's Loop8 app, so a spouse or an adult child can take over if something happens.
- True8 Connect. Private messaging between two people, not stored on Loop8's servers. Messages delete themselves after eight days, with no recovery and no archive.
- Authenticator. Two-factor codes, generated and kept on the device.
- PrivacyMate. Scans the dark web for compromised data and provides real-time notifications to users while they browse on a desktop.
In the paid version
- The password manager. Credentials kept on the phone and opened with biometrics. No master password, and no copy on Loop8's servers.
- MySafe. A desktop tool that keeps its contents on the computer and does not copy them to the cloud on its own. Users who want a backup send it to storage they already own, such as their own
Google Drive . - Seven extra licenses. Every paid license comes with seven more at no cost, so a user can cover family and community instead of buying one seat at a time.
"Most people aren't security experts, and they shouldn't have to be," said
