File & Password Vault 1.0.0.3
For those who want to make sure their private info remains safe even while they are on the go, having a companion like File & Password Vault at hand will surely come in handy.
The application even has some special characteristics that will prove useful in exporting and restoring the contained data, while ensuring the information remains accessible only to the owner of the device it runs on.
Appealing and customizable GUI
The application has a pretty neat looking GUI, with a nice background and a well organized layout to offer you a pleasant experience. The albums have each a thumbnail pic onto their tiles, which makes them even more appealing.
In case you want to change the overall theme of the application, simply head on to the dedicated section of the "Settings" area and pick one of the available skins. Note that only 3 are available for free, while the others unlock when purchasing the Pro version.
A constant bother comes from the full screen advertisements that tend to appear out of the blue and sometimes you will also get some prompts to rate and review File & Password Vault.
Create albums and populate them or add docs and passwords on the fly
The app allows you to create as many albums as you need, but you should note that when adding a name, at most 12 characters will be displayed inside the main screen for each folder. Renaming these containers can be done on the spot, by pressing the respective container until the management commands appear.
Insofar as the data import is concerned this utility supports several sources, like the phone local storage, the attached SD card, the built-in phone camera and it can even accommodate content form online sources via the built-in secure browser.
Nonetheless, the OS limitations make it impossible at this time to add videos or audio files, as well as documents from the phone gallery, while the SD card import is conditioned by the addition of some special extensions.
The password management module is pretty well organized, offering a lot of default categories you can fill with your credentials to have them securely stored, while you can also create new ones on the spot.
Security measures and restore options
File & Password Vault offers you form the first run the possibility to choose the desired access method and you can opt for the PIN code, password or pattern lock. Any of these can be later on modified from inside the app.
A great addition are the hacking detection and logging abilities, which have a special section called "Hack Attempts" where you can view the picture of the person trying to get inside the app and the precise time they tried this.
There is a credential recovery function also included in the feature set, so you can retrieve your login and enter the app, while some other cool abilities are locked and require a Pro license.
