Ascendo DataVault is a Secure Password Manager that
allows you to store personal information like usernames, passwords and PINs using
the most powerful encryption method 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
"Professional". 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. For example, you might have an American Express card that you use for work and a Visa card that you
use for personal use.
DataVault provides a set of Templates including a 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 information 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 provides an
Extended Search feature that allows you to search on all fields, not just the
Item name.
DataVault includes numerous features to
manage the security of your information such AES encryption for backup and
restore, master password hint, Security Time-Out, Deleted Item Log, screen keyboard
and a customizable Password Generator.
