Used to be great
The app will not open on an IOS device - get a splash screen then exits. Have reinstalled and it worked for a couple of weeks and now the same problem!

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.

◆ ◆ ◆ 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!

Once a great app
I have used this app since it was first available and have always enjoyed it. Lately, it works fine on my iPad, but it won’t open on my iPhone. Once the Face ID appears, the app just vanishes- not open or accessible. There is no way to contact the developer to report the issue. On their website they give an address for support, but it just takes you back to the same spot you just came from. There is no way to report issues. Sad. I have really enjoyed using this app and have paid for several of the add-on features, but it just no longer works on my iPhone and no way to communicate with the developer to get it fixed.
Crashes
I have used this app for years and loved it until the last update. Now I have can’t get into it at all. Very disappointing.
Easy secure way to store your important data
This app is very secure and relatively easy learning curve. Great for keeping all your personal, family and home important data. Never had any problems until recently when I suddenly couldn’t login after an IOS software update. But, Vault support team quickly responded to my email for help with detailed instructions on how to resolve the issue. I was up and running again within a day. This also reinforced to me the critical importance of insuring regular backups are done! I highly recommend The Vault.
App Started Crashing
I have been using this App for years and until the last few weeks never had an issue. It started crashing on my iPhone a few weeks ago after an update and even after the last update a few days ago it continues to crash. I recently purchased a new iPad, installed the app and it worked fine for a couple of days and now it crashes as well. I was able to retrieve my data on my old iPad and printed all of it just in case I loose it as well. I am very disappointed that the developer has not addressed this issue.
Great Customer Help Response
I’ve been using The Vault’ for many years and think it’s a great app. I store all my passwords and other useful information there. Recently it became corrupted and would not display my information as it should. I immediately emailed the app folks a screenshot of what was going on and they quickly emailed back steps to recover from this anxiety producing dilemma. Bingo-bango my faith in the world was restored.
Great app…currently experiencing issues
This app has been my “go to” for many years. But now it seems to glitch. After a few data syncs, the local dbase deletes itself. Luckily I created a backup before it did! What’s causing this?
It’s been great until now
I can’t get into the vault app. It crashes every time I open it both on my iPhone and iPad. App and iOS are all updated to the most recent.
It suddenly stopped working⁉️
It worked very well for a very long time; then suddenly, a few weeks ago, it would not accept facial recognition or the password. There were loads of passwords in there, that were not used that frequently but when needed were extremely important. There were also photos in there that are irreplaceable. I contacted them and they said just reload the app from the App Store. Tried it several times to no avail. That’s why I gave it three stars for the over a decade’s worth of successful operation.
When it works-great: when not-impossible
I have used the vault for many years. A week ago on one of my three devices, specifically my iPhone, when I opened the app it would flash on the sign in page then go immediately to the apps page showing all the other apps on this page. No matter how many times I tried it would not open. My other devices would open normally. I thought if I deleted the app I could sign in and sync to the other devices. This was a disasters. When I opened the app on my phone, each time I made a change in a folder and synced another device, that specific folder on the synced device would disappear and on the iPhone too. I can not find a way to reach customer support no matter when I try. I am leaving in 2 weeks to be out of the country for 3 months and I desperately need The Vault to work on my iPhone and the one iPad I will be traveling with. Also on my iPad, every time I sign in there are NO folders until I sync each time. Help! Phil
