Anyone use a Password Vault app?
I've downloaded a like a Password Vault App for my iPhone i'd like to use but got a couple questions.
This app is the one where you have a main master password and once logged in you can use the password generator to make really secure passwords and store all your importnant information. I like it because I can generate truly complex passwords and I have all my important info in one app.
The thing is, I feel vulnerable if I have all this information on my iPhone, if I lose it I'm screwed. There's, for security reasons, no online backup and the only backup is a local one on itunes/my computer (which I think is only accesible if I transfewr to my iPhone, I can't read it from the computer)
So for those of you that do use this, how do you deal with this?
Do you keep another copy somewhere else or write it down or something?
Again, I love that I have all my files there and I can have complex passwords and security questions, but I really don't know what I'd do if I need to login to my bank lets say and my iPhone breaks or is stolen, then I just lost all my passwords for everything.
For exactly that reason, I don't trust password apps. Too many apps get destroyed by update and nobody guarantees the app will work in the far future.
I write it down and hide the asswrd in plain sight in standard text files. This file can easily accessed and backuped in different ways. But each file contains very little info, I even lock out myself that way sometimes. Like I write down only half of the prashw or use mnemonics, initials of a sentence…
I store mine on my computer, not phone where its possible it could be lost. The other thing is I always have a number on the front of all passwords that is never listed, for example art is the first 3 letters of all passwords but its never listed… So even if someone got all my passwords they couldn't get them to work without knowing that art is the first 3 of everyone of them.
- Will I keep the photos from Private Photo Vault? I'm switching to a new Iphone and I wanted to know, if I back up my phone to my computer, when I sync my new phone will all the photos still be there, or no?
- My photo vault won't let me in without upgrading? So on my iPhone I have a photo vault all where you can lock pictures up in, I have a really funny picture of my friend that I have in there and I went to go to it and I won't let me into the locked album and the only option it's giving me is to upgrade, but it's like $3.00 which is a waste of money. I just wanna know if this is happening to anyone else or if anyone has an idea how to fix it?
- Is there any way I can use my deceased father's iphone X even though I don't know his password or his e-mail password? My dad passed away recently. He had a fairly new iPhone X. I'd like to use it as my own phone but I don't know the passcode. I watched a video on how to restore the phone but I still can't use it because the phone is connected to an itunes account… And since i don't know his e-mail password, i can't reset it. I went to AT&T (where we were on a family plan) but they said they can't help me. Is his nearly new phone destined to be a paper weight?
- Is File & Password Vault a dependable application for iPhone? I have been using this app for a couple of months now, I'm satisfied with its functionality, but, just want to take your opinion that whether it is safe enough or not. Need your opinion. https://itunes.apple.com/...1&mt=8
