The Vault overview

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. And while storage and access is simple, The Vault uses rock-solid, industry-standard 256-bit AES encryption.

Why is it better? The Vault is very simple to use, yet it employs industry-standard encryption to keep your data safe. (Some other paid 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 can securely store photos and pictures; for example a scan of your passport, a photo of your credit card, or just the serial numbers of some equipment you own. Anything.
  • The Vault can securely store *any* office or other document.
  • The Vault can securely store - and play - animated GIFs.
  • Securely storing photos and documents is as easy as drag-and-dropping them on an open Note.
  • Proper random password generation
  • Auto-shields sensitive information
  • Securely synchronizes with The Vault for iOS! Please note that you need to have the SecureSync feature installed on your iOS devices for them to be able to SecureSync with The Vault.

    Who to trust?! Don't feel very well when there's no name, no address or any other evidence of the identity of the developer.

    This is truly an original take on secure password (and document!) storage: being able to simply tap what you want to remember, instead using predefined password/username text fields! The encryption is very good - and open-sourced - so that the implementation can be checked by experts. Set it up after having used the app on multiple mobile devices. Set up was really easy, and immediately showed all my iOS passwords and PDFs on my Mac. Also the only app I have seen that has things like secure copy to protect your clipboard.

    Waste of money. Server import doesn't work. Server not available OS-X, only ios. Leaves you doing a hand job.

    Does what it says on the box. Ignore the review by TCalhau below, read my reply to his review if you'd like more info. By the way, I am not associated in any way with either product
