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 Works Great

CaptSail on

I've been using The Vault for years and it has protected all of my information without any problems. When I ask for Support they are right there. No, I can't get through by phone but they do respond to email. I admit that I just use a small part of the vault to save a bit of information. As I look over their settings and directions, I do see that The Vault provides much more than I use, and should you should explore all of that. Highly recommended!!

I’ve been using The Vault for a decade+. Great design, powerful features, and exemplary support.

Very helpful

I’ve downloaded the Vault app and use it religiously. I convinced my husband to give it a try. We paid for Secure Sync but I was having trouble getting it to connect to his device. I emailed customer service and received a very detailed reply which allowed me to sync with ease. I highly recommend this app and company to provide excellent customer service! Thank you for making things easy!

Excellent customer service

I have used this program for all of our devices for many years, with The Vault keeping everything in sync flawlessly. So, I was a bit bothered when iPad and iPhone, while syncing with each other, would ignore the MacBook. An email to tech support elicited a quick response, and the problem was resolved immediately. Through some error on my part, Dropbox (which The Vault uses as the common platform for syncing) had been uninstalled. Re-installing it immediately caused a re-sync of my MacBook, with everything checking out among all devices. Thanks again for excellent tech support!

Many years of good service

I’m not sure there’s another password app that keeps your data locally on your devices rather than uploading to a server that can be hacked. To me, that is golden. Also, there’s no recurring fee to sync between devices. Perhaps best of all, look at the developer’s privacy policy. Unlike their competitors, they collect zero information. The Vault is mature and stable, with frequent updates and a quick response to any issues. New features are frequently added, which can result in a bit of a learning curve even for longtime users. For instance, I didn’t realize that you can swipe from right to left to reveal a masked credential, and vice-versa. You can backup manually on demand to Dropbox, iCloud, or Microsoft OneDrive. Or you can let the app manage backups for you automatically. The developers have gone a long way to make passwords secure and easy.

App crashes after update

jgvgcpiyv on

United States

Updated app today, 2/8/2023 and app will not open on iPad or iPhone, it simply crashes. Restarting my device does not resolve the issue. Removing app and reinstalling does not fix the issue. Both of my devices have the latest iOS updates. Now all of my passwords or the ability to get to them are lost.

Works great for me

dbikedoc on

Have dozens of documents, user names & passwords stored. Even some of my salient medical records. It does exactly what the documentation says it should, every time. I keep the app icon buried so it’s less likely that anyone will find it, let alone crack the password. Really great app. Addendum: Been using The Vault without incident for years. Had a problem with the latest update today. Emailed support & an received answer within an hour. Problem totally solved within next hour. Great app & great support. Thank you.

Good and gets better

App is wonderful: fully featured and just works well. You only pay for the features you want, the prices are very reasonable, and NOT subscription based. The few times I contacted the developer I received fast, thoughtful, helpful responses. I’ve been using it for a long time and they keep adding features over time (some free, some not). Bottom line: great app with great ongoing support.

Best app ever

Frankjake on

Seriously, I’ve had this free app since I bought my first iPhone many years ago. It’s never failed through every new iPhone and every update. It now offers many options for purchase to fit just about anyone’s needs. But it’s still totally free for very secure text storage. I started using this as a text based password saver. I’d enter the website, login and password and save it I to one document. This was way before any of the costly password savers were even available. It’s continues to work. Now days you can save pictures, files in different formats, just about anything that you need to hide from prying eyes. It’s fast, easy to use, and has the option to sync with your other devices! Including a Mac. I’m not sure about a windows PC, but I’m going to ask their support people who are very fast at answering any questions. They invite ideas to enhance the user experience. Honestly this is one of my top 20 favorite apps. You can purchase Add-ons to fit your needs and they are very reasonable. But it’s perfectly functional by itself, for free. Thanks guys for a great app I’ve used for about 10 years, give or take. Upon edit 7/5/18 For the people who are having trouble, it has to be user error or device error. This App works perfectly and has since it first came out. Over the years they have made many usable AND working updates. I’m just a customer but I suggest contacting support if you don’t know how to use the app. Customer service is excellent. Or maybe try uninstalling then reinstalling the app. I’ve done that with other apps that stopped working after an update or buying a new phone. December 2022 and still one of the best apps in the store. I use this every single day!

Awesome App

I’ve been using the app for many years now and love it. It’s easy to use and secure. The few times I had questions over the years I emailed support and received a very fast response that answered my question. I highly recommend!
