*Apps are available in the Mac App Store and iTunes
Having been an avid BlackBerry user for years, when I made the switch to iPhone, I really missed some of the native BlackBerry apps. I used the Password Keeper app for BlackBerry all the time. I would store credit card numbers I used for online purchases, logins, passwords and registration numbers. If a document had important, and personal, information I wanted to keep with me, it went into Password Keeper.
Once I took the plunge and bought an iPhone (for the record, I?m an avid user and I won?t be going back), I was really upset their wasn?t a native password app. I looked around online and did some research but came up with only a few options (nothing that really hooked me. I then headed to the TiPB forums for some added input. Thanks to a few great members, I was recommended the DataVault application. DataVault is a standalone iPhone or desktop application.
If you were a previous BlackBerry user, like myself, this is the perfect app to smooth your transition! The app and software have encryption and password protection to keep your private information private. There are a variety of pre-made templates that you can use (just enter in the necessary information) or you can simply create your own. Your passwords can be listed in either ?Tree? or ?List? mode. Tree is a folder-like system that organizes your files into folders based on their category. List mode, what I prefer, allows you to see a straight list of all your passwords by title.
As I had previously mentioned, there is also a desktop component to DataVault sold separately. I didn?t think I would use it as much as I do, but I was wrong. The desktop application syncs with the iPhone app to keep everything updated. Another nice feature is the copy option. Say you are making an online purchase and need your credit card number. You can simply click the copy button then paste the number directly into the order form. I am a huge bookworm and love being able to copy my library card number into the field when I log on. It?s a huge time saver!
Wrapping up, if you are looking for a solid and well made password keeper - look no further. The $9.99 price tag might turn a few people off but I can assure you it?s money well spent! Ascendo has created a great product and I highly recommend!!
Please let me know if you have any questions, I?m happy to answer them!!
