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, or MD5 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 older 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 Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/e3/4c/ba/e34cba3a-de87-e3c7-f783-c3a179463d61/mzl.ogcoeqth.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/0a/62/dc/0a62dce7-a271-2350-a815-41a55c825252/mzl.qgosyatm.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/7f/75/99/7f7599f9-0953-3ce6-ca01-6397e210b324/mzl.jhedvzrh.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/9f/72/fe/9f72fe29-8d51-3313-f3f9-6a01b0ddb1a6/mzl.qstnfruu.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/7b/f0/6c/7bf06c16-f763-5110-7e5c-9fdb1cba5e0f/mzl.ttkkiqqj.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/7b/84/3f/7b843fff-eb42-c9a6-6311-66cfea61c2d4/mzl.oraoitmk.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/f2/80/7d/f2807d5a-12b1-d9be-70f6-34d2d0b8afb9/mzl.lvtwdoqw.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/49/ab/42/49ab42ec-2c51-f864-d29d-e3a1810722d9/mzl.wohuqsgc.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/38/b9/77/38b97705-4605-5cb2-7a23-dff05f7e6c74/mzl.rlppvyiw.jpg/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/d1/ee/65/d1ee65fe-bd44-6228-9be8-270606780429/mzl.wpytmjin.jpg/1242x2688.png) ## The Vault Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 93 (58%) - 4 stars: 6 (4%) - 3 stars: 7 (4%) - 2 stars: 18 (11%) - 1 stars: 35 (22%) ## The Vault Reviews in United States ### **--- "Now Crashes on Phone" The Vault for years was my go-to place for easily, on my iPhone and iPad, keeping up with numbers, passwords, codes and other important bits of information. The app has many helpful features. Now, the app crashes on my phone, upon entry of the PIN. Fortunately it still works on the iPad. Unfortunately I can’t easily carry the big iPad everywhere. If this is not resolved, I will have to migrate. The developer website does not have a contact link, hence this review. -- Beta4, 2026-02-28 ### *---- "Poor" The app keeps crashing and I have sent numerous emails but have never received a response. All of my information keeps getting lost. -- izzyah43, 2026-02-13 ### ***** "excellent customer service" They responded in less than 24 hours when I had the first and only problem I have ever had with The Vault, and they had a solution. I believe this is the safest way to store private information and I have used The Vault for about 15 years now. -- Kimbowtie, 2026-02-13 ### ***** "Most Useful App plus great support" I tell all my friends using an iPhone that this is the most useful app they can get. I have used it for years and have over a hundred passwords stored. I access it several times per week to check out what my passwords or other account information is. Just last week I could not get into my account. After contacting their customer support I got a response within hours with detailed instructions on what to do. The good news is that I am now back to using the Vault. Be sure to do secure backup, it saved all my information. -- jupstateny, 2026-01-12 ### ***** "Excellent Support" After upgrading to iOS 26.2 my Vault failed to load and I contacted The Vault team for support. They made a suggestion, which didn’t work and they came back with a series of steps. The steps were performed initially on my iPad and voila! I then executed the same steps on my iPhone which was a bit more challenging, due to the vault defaulting to apple files and not Dropbox. Good thing the vault covered this little mishap. I followed the alternative and was able to opened my backup file in Dropbox using The Vault. All devices corrected and I was successful in enabling secure link. A big thank you to The Vault team. Awesome work guys. -- Giddyp, 2025-12-19 ### ***** "GOAT!" My Personal Security for the Las 13 Years! I’ve been your customer for many years (12-13?) and I’ve found that this is the most functional daily app I’ve ever used. When I had one syncing issue. your tech support was there in hours to help me find an idiosyncratic cause or the problem. I was back in operation by the end of the day. The app has become the nerve center of all my confidencial information. Health, home management, finance, legal, it doesn’t matter. I got it covered. My only pain was not caused by you. Dropbox changed their fee schedule, but you kindly explained your security reasons for not changing your format, and I fully understand. Integrity of the security is un-impeachable. Yay to you! -- AlZoot, 2025-11-03 ### *---- "Not working on my iPhone 16 pro. I have the app and used it for many years and now it stopped load" Please help me fix it -- Gwenndlyn, 2025-10-27 ### **--- "What happened?" I have used this app for years and talked it up to anyone that was looking. But something changed in 2024. I have had to reinstall it several times on my devices. At present I have lost some entries. And the pics don’t come back in each time. Again, what happened? -- noimpresses, 2025-09-21 ### ***-- "App is buggy lately" I have had major problems with the app recently on all of my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPad mini). The app eventually won’t load and I have to download the app again and sync everything. It has been a pain to deal with because I can’t rely on the app to just quickly look up a password. I often end up having to delete the app and then download it and sync it before I can use it each time. -- edwclark1, 2025-09-16 ### *---- "waste of time and money" This app is a waste of time and money. They charge for basic features like backups and syncing, and there are lots of hidden fees. One day it just stopped working and I lost all my data — even the backup couldn’t be opened. Don’t bother with it. iPhone Notes is more than enough these days, and it even lets you lock your notes for free. -- Fg camb, 2025-09-13 [View all The Vault reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Vault In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | theVault Secure Backup & Restore | $1.99 | | The Vault Secure Synchronization | $9.99 | | theVault securePDF | $4.99 | | theVault Export | $1.99 | | theVault Import | $1.99 | | The Vault -
