Securely store and manage passwords of your digital realm with NewPass.
About this app
NewPass is a secure password management application designed to generate and store strong passwords locally on your device. With NewPass, you can create highly secure passwords for your accounts and services without the need to remember them.
Key Features:
• Password Generation: NewPass provides a robust password generator that allows you to create complex and secure passwords tailored to your specific requirements. You can customize the length and the character set (Uppercase, Numbers and Special). • Local Storage: Your passwords are stored locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and control over your data. NewPass does not store any passwords on external servers, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access (If you uninstall the app, your password are lost!). • AES Encryption: NewPass encrypts all stored passwords using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode before saving them in the local database. • SQLite Chiper: NewPass utilizes SQLCipher, an extension for SQLite databases, to bolster security further by encrypting entirely the database, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access. The encryption key is chosen by the user upon the first launch of the app, and it remains saved and encrypted in an EncryptedSharedPreferences. It is then requested every time the app is launched. • User-Friendly Interface: NewPass features an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy to generate, view, and manage your passwords. The app offers convenient options for copying passwords to the clipboard and securely sharing them with other applications.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.gero.newpass is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.1.10 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall NewPass first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of NewPass, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
