MobileVaults 1.0.60.0
For those who want to make sure their private info remains safe even while they are on the go, having a companion like MobileVaults at hand will surely come in handy.
This app will make your Windows Phone more secure for keeping username and login information for any service you access regularly and besides its encrypted vault, the utility features active threat detection for dangerous hot spots and networks.
Friendly interface with an intuitive layout
This utility brings you a rather easy to use GUI, where all the functions are neatly organized inside various menus and configuration areas that can be reached with no difficulties. Also, browsing the lists of accounts or going through the details included inside each entry is smooth and glitch-free.
The details displayed onto the large tiles inside the main menu and also on top or below them are pretty useful, but sometimes do not refresh immediately and this problem propagates throughout the app. Restarting MobileVaults is the only way to quickly refresh the info.
Add new accounts on the spot and keep them secure
The app enables you to create as many accounts as you need, but the free version is limited to 3, with the possibility to increase the number by earning a few more in exchange for ratings and likes, while there are some paid plans as well.
Creating new entries on the list of accounts is pretty easy as there are two ways of doing it. The first one is a quick setup, where you simply add the account name and password then choose the website(s) from the app's database. For the second method you will have to input all the data and configure the options manually.
A great thing about MobileVaults is that you can set it up to change the passcodes automatically, at certain intervals and it has 5 built-in password generators. More so, you can create custom generators that best fit your needs and preferences.
Threat detection and data backup
This application will carry out independent scans to ensure the wireless network you are connected to is safe and you will receive prompt notifications in case something is amiss.
You should note that in case the cellular data connection is turned off, the utility interprets it as a potential problem. Also, when connecting to your home or work WiFi, that you know it is secure, while the linking is in progress you might receive some alerts.
To check things and make sure it is not a false alert you can visit the "Advanced" section and run again the verification by pressing "check for threats now". The previous warnings are logged inside the same area, so you can review them later or clear the list with one tap.
In order to keep the stored information safe, MobileVaults is set to create daily backups, but you can modify this options and there is also the possibility to include as destination your OneDrive account or a PC you paired with after installing the desktop companion.
