As simple as writing it down!

Description

Do you...
... have trouble remembering tens or hundreds of online passwords?
... write passwords down somewhere, even though you know this is not the safest thing to do?
... use the same ("cleverly" modified) password in multiple places, instead of using properly randomized passwords that offer the best security?
... sometimes wish you had a photo of a creditcard, passport or other document handy?
... want to securely store lots of other confidential information, photos, animated GIFs, office documents, you name it?
... want all this to be secure, but still very simple to use?
Then ◆The Vault◆ is for you!
The Vault provides straightforward, easy to use, secure storage for all your documents and other data, such as passwords, login credentials and any other confidential information. It can securely store any number of documents, images, screenshots or photos along with your confidential information.
* 256-bit AES encryption *
While storage and access is simple, The Vault uses rock-solid, industry standard encryption.
[technical details below]

◆ ◆ ◆ WHY IS IT BETTER ? ◆ ◆ ◆
▸ See all features: bit.ly/TheVault-Features
▸ The Vault is very simple to use, yet it employs industry-standard encryption to keep your data safe.
(Some other - payed - apps do too, but some apps advertised as "secure" really do not, and for example save your data using a simple base-64 encoding: your information looks scrambled, but is as readable as plain text when you know how).
▸ The Vault will - never - show ad banners! We hate them too.
▸ The Vault stores information on * your * device. Not on some server somewhere on the net.
▸ Securely storing information is as simple as entering free text!
▸ The Vault can securely store photos and pictures from your camera or photo library; for example a copy of your passport, credit card, or just the serial numbers of some equipment you own. Anything.
▸ The Vault can securely store - and play - animated GIFs.
▸ The Vault can securely store *any* office or other document.
▸ Many secured documents can be viewed directly from The Vault, including PDFs, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Powerpoint, Excel and Word files.
▸ You can optionally import data exported from your previous password app (or any other source that can provide the data).
▸ Automatically and securely backups your data!

◆ ◆ ◆ TECHNICAL DETAILS ◆ ◆ ◆
This is the part that matters.
This is the part that is hard to get right.
This is the part that makes the difference between actual security and insecurity.
Claiming “military-grade” (or “industry standard” ;-) encryption is meaningless.
Even claiming “256-bit AES encryption”, in itself is not very meaningful.
Example:
Claiming “military-grade” encryption and subsequently simply hashing a master passcode - e.g. using SHA, MD5, or, god forbid, nothing at all (!) - is NOT good.
What ís good is to use a proper key derivation algorithm such as PBKDF2, scrypt or bcrypt.
Another example:
AES is better than ancient algorithms such as Blowfish, Twofish or 3DES.
But even for AES: an app that does not combine encryption with authentication... is doing it wrong. Currently there is some consensus that the best construct is to first encrypt a message and then calculate a message-authentication code, instead of the other way around.
These things matter.
◆ ◆ ◆
The Vault uses PBKDF2 key derivation with an HMAC-SHA512 PRF, and HMAC-SHA256 Encrypt-then-MAC authenticated 256-bit AES encryption, using CommonCrypto functionality only. All cipher and MAC worker keys, as well as all salts and IVs, are purely random data. Keys and IVs are never reused. Each singular piece of data is encrypted with a unique random encryption key, and authenticated with a unique random HMAC key.
Your Master Passcode is never stored; and neither are the derived cipher keys.
◆ ◆ ◆

THE ONLY THING ●YOU● HAVE TO DO?
Choose a long master passcode. Make it long, and make it random!

The Vault Reviews

Couldn’t Live Without the Vault

Bernie??? on

Australia

I’ve been using The Vault for over 7 years, and I wouldn’t be without it. Have also found support excellent.

Extremely handy App to have!

Mr-Goo on

Australia

I have used The Vault for more than 10 years now, and it’s been great to keep my ever increasing number of passwords safely stored away. I’ve only had an issue once just recently and sent an email to the Vault team, who replied that same day with very helpful advice, as to why I couldn’t log into the App all of a sudden. I checked a bunch of things as per your suggestions, including the Language and Region settings of my iPhone and sure enough, something odd was there,. two copies of "English" as the "Preferred Language", and I don't remember that being the case before. I deleted the second one, restarted my phone, and I could instantly log into the Vault app again. Thanks for making a great App!

Awesome app and no subscription required!

RobKay01 on

Australia

I’ve been using this app for over 10 years and it is awesome. Security is as good as anything you can get and it is a one time fee unlike those expensive subscription model password keepers out there. Hate the subscription model for apps like this. There are a few optional extras that you can choose to pay for with this app but they are not expensive and add a lot of value. I’ve purchased a few of them. Great work.

Prompt and Detailed customer service

Happy Vault Client on

Australia

I had a question about syncing my data. Received a response within 12 hours. It was really clear, detailed but not too technical and it worked. Brilliant!!! Always impressed by the customer service. It is amazing. And the product is really good too.

My 'Must Have' password app

Tripod65 on

Australia

I’ve been using this app for a number of years on four mobile devices shared with family members. Over this time there’s been a couple of occasions where I’ve had to make contact with the Support team who have responded very quickly and resolved my problem. Secure Sync works well and makes life easier with seamless syncing across two iPads and two iPhones. I’m visiting ery happy with this app, and the support provided. Tripod 65

The Best

AmISafe on

Australia

I have used other wallet apps, but this is the best. I have puchased the backup (to Dropbox) addon and could not initially work out how to recover an individual record(s). The developer provided me with a prompt solution and everything now working great. This app is very simple to use, but provides all of the features that I certainly need in a personal secured wallet app.

Great app

N567 on

Australia

Incredible- almost immediately after I had written my review, a new update appeared in the App Store. I installed it and now The Vault is working perfectly again. Thank you so much! (My previous review today) Unfortunately for the first time in years I installed the latest update and now the app crashes upon attempt to open. I would have contacted developer directly but could not find contact information on their website. I’m sure this will be resolved quickly. (My previous review) This is a great app for securely storing passwords and sensitive files. I have been using it for quite some time, still use it regularly and love it! Thanks.

Worth every cent, highly recommended

Phree_ed on

Australia

Been using the Vault for several years now and can't fault it. It's installed on my iPhone, iPad and Mac and no matter which device is used to access and add or update notes it quickly syncs across all devices. When I have had glitches (which is only twice in all the time I've had it) contacting the Vault team via their help email address has brought fast response and easily followed instructions that have fixed the problem first time. My advice to anyone who has a glitch/problem with this software would be to read these reviews starting with the most critical because the answer is probably already there somewhere. If not then contact the developer because they are more than willing to help.

Great App

JuzzBuzz2000 on

Australia

The Vault has proven itself time and time again over the years. I’ve been using it for over 8 years and I’ve never been tempted to change. They’ve got the basics right, and keep adding really helpful features. Best of all, the customer service is top notch and really fast. Highly recommend.

Like a cheap motel room

This program used to have a backup feature but now it costs extra if you want to backup. It reminds me of a cheap motel room, everything you want to touch costs extra. SplashID is much better in my view and fully loaded!
