Works for Passpack Password Manager whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.
Touch and hold Passpack Password Manager's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Passpack Password Manager behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; choose Hide and Require Face ID instead to move it into App Library's Hidden folder as well.
Lock Passpack Password Manager with Face ID
- Find Passpack Password Manager on your Home Screen or in App Library.
- Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
- Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
- Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Passpack Password Manager now asks for authentication every time it opens.
To test it, close Passpack Password Manager from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hiding also locks the app. To undo either, touch and hold the icon again and choose Don't Require Face ID.
Why lock Passpack Password Manager?
Passpack Password Manager is a password manager, the kind of app that tends to hold personal information you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. A password manager holds the keys to every other account. Data collection on the label should be limited to what syncing and billing need, and your vault should be end-to-end encrypted.
Productivity apps tend to collect the work you do in them — documents, notes and files — so User Content is common. The question is whether it syncs to the developer's servers and how it is protected there.
A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Passpack Password Manager sends to its developer; for that, see Passpack Password Manager's full privacy report.
