Ascendo DataVault is a Secure Password Manager that allows you to store personal information such usernames, passwords, PINs, etc., using the most powerful encryption technology available.

You can store up to 10 pieces of information and additional notes with each Item. For example, a health insurance item may include information like your Subscriber Number, Group Number, Plan, Primary Physician, etc. You can change the label associated with each piece of information and the field contents.

Items can be organized into Categories and Types. Examples of Categories could be "Personal" and "Business". For example, you might have an American Express card that you use for work and a Visa card that you use for personal use. Examples of Types are "Credit Cards", "Logins", "Insurance" and "Driver License". Classifying each item provides an intuitive way to display your Items in a Tree View and a quick way to find them.  

DataVault provides a set of Templates including default field labels and icon. Templates can be used to speed data entry for similar items. For example, you may have several logins that each have a username and password. Selecting a Template allows you to avoid typing the same labels over and over again.

You can display Items in List View or Tree View. List View displays each Item in a separate row with two or more columns for the fields of the item. The Tree View displays Items as levels in a tree where the first level is Categories, the second level is Types and the third level is Items. The tree levels can be expanded or collapsed to show more or less information on one screen.

You can Search for Items by typing characters at the top of the List View and Tree View screens.

DataVault includes numerous features to manage the security of your information such as security time-out, field masking, master password hint and a customizable Password Generator.

DataVault for iPhone & iPod Touch can synchronize with DataVault for Windows (sold separately). The DataVault desktop allows you to import data in standard text formats or from third party password managers and then synchronize them with DataVault for iPhone & iPod Touch.

Ascendo DataVault protects your data, simplifies managing confidential information and saves you time. DataVault gives you instant access to private information when ever you need it.
