Lockbox app not available on App Store

Been using this app for years to store private secure info. Bank act numbers, passport # etc. now when I go to open it the pop up says it’s not available on apple App Store and I can’t open. How can I get the info?

This is brutal. Apple should give us some form of advance warning before disabling their approved apps. I've been using this app for many years - at least we should be given the opportunity to transfer the information.

I have looked, but there is nothing there. I firmly believe that you are giving false information.


I've used a 3rd party password manager for years. I used 1Password at first. None of those passwords are in Safari. Two years ago, I exported the 1Passwords to a file and imported the file into Bitwarden, the 3rd party password manager I now use. None of Bitwarden's passwords appear in Safari.


I don't believe that Lockbox passwords are available in Safari.


I'm waiting for at least 5 of the folks who have no access to their LB info to verify that your claim is correct.

Hello All. I have been using LockBox Pro for like a decade and hav over a hundred passwords I cannot access. Does anyone know how I can retrieve my data?

You probably will never be able to access that data again. For the future, if you want to store passwords, use Apple's Keychain or a reputable password manager such as 1Password.

Apple doesn't disable the apps. The app developers stop supporting and/or updating the app.


Apple offers a very good password manager. I'm sure if they were discontinuing it, they would let people know.

Well, here’s the whole story. The first time you engage Airplane Mode it turns off all radios, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. While it is in Airplane Mode you can turn them back on. After that, it “remembers” that you turned them back on, and it will leave them on the next time you use Airplane Mode.

So I'm only slightly confused. Good to know.


I'm still not clear how the suggestion to turn on Airplane mode and turn off WiFi answers the original question. So, perhaps more than slightly confused.

Is this the first time that you have engaged Airplane Mode after an update? Or five years ago when you first flew and engaged the AM?


I'm finding what Idris is seeing on my iPhone 12 Pro, engaging AM is not turning off Wi-Fi or BT.


I don't recall configuring AM to leave Wi-Fi on in the past.


However, I do find that if I've engaged AM and then turn off Wi-Fi that AM remembers that and turns off Wi-Fi when it is engaged again.
