We think it's also fair to say that a lot of us have actually entered one of our many numerical codes or passwords into the device only to remember that we used a different one when setting it up. MultiPass is one developer’s attempt to bypass that issue by affording users with the ability to specify multiple passwords through the native Settings app. Usage of the tweak is as simple as accessing the package's settings panel and specifying the required number of four digit passcodes. Any one of them can then be entered whenever iOS prompts for authentication.

Like most good tweaks MultiPass comes with a simple toggle that can be used to turn the functionality on or off at anytime. This can become particularly important when troubleshooting any strange or unexpected behavior when multiple packages are installed through Cydia. If you are operating a jailbroken device and can never remember which four digit code of choice you used then MultiPass could definitely be for you.

MultiPass is a free-of-charge package that can be accessed and download via the BigBoss repository. The package requires a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or higher.

MultiPass is one of the latest tweaks to make its way onto the BigBoss repo that will likely appeal to the indecisive security conscious individuals out there.
