Unlock your way
Pattern, PIN, passphrase or Face ID. Your call.
People protect a vault differently. Some want a quick glance with Face ID, others a long passphrase nobody can guess. VaultBolt lets you choose, and always keeps a non-biometric secret underneath.
How it works
Unlock your way, step by step.
Pick a method
Pattern, PIN or passphrase during setup, with a live strength hint.
Add Face ID if you want
Biometrics are optional and sit on top of your secret, never instead of it.
Wrong guesses slow down
Repeated wrong attempts add growing delays, and on Pro the front camera can take an intruder photo.
Separate from your iPhone passcode
Someone who knows your phone's passcode still cannot open your vault.
Face ID and duress
If you set a duress code, VaultBolt explains why you may want Face ID off: a face can be held up to a phone, a code cannot be forced as easily.
Coming later
Knock unlock (a private tap rhythm) and Face ID plus a secret gesture are planned for Pro.
Honest limits
- A 4-digit PIN is quick but easier to guess than a long passphrase.
- Biometrics can be used against you if someone holds the phone to your face.
FAQ
Unlock your way: common questions
Can I use Face ID with VaultBolt?
Yes, optionally. You always set a pattern, PIN or passphrase first, and Face ID or Touch ID can unlock on top of it.
Is a pattern safer than a PIN?
A long pattern with several turns can be harder to shoulder-surf than a 4-digit PIN, but a passphrase is the strongest option against guessing.
