A More Secure Way To Store Important Info

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 | Jeffrey Mincey Posted In Mac App Reviews

InfoWalletThe information age has some drawbacks. Personal information can get spread all over the world with a few clicks. Online scams and spyware steal information from Mac and PC users.

How do you keep your personal information safe? Do you store it online? Do you store it on your Mac? Is there an easy way to keep information with you, securely, at all times, ready to be used anywhere, Mac or PC?

Put Another Wallet In Your Pocket

As a Mac user you probably feel rather secure. No viruses for Macs, right? But Trojan Horse malware and Phishing attempts are increasing. Is it possible to get personal, private information off your computer entirely?

InfoWallet might be what you’re looking for and what you need.

Add a small flash drive to your keychain so the InfoWallet app is with you all the time, wherever you go, ready to use, on your keychain or in your purse or pocket, but not stored on your Mac or Windows PC.

Plug it in, add information.

What kind? InfoWallet stores nearly everything—passwords, usernames, URLs, medical information, personal or business contacts, financial documents. Not just small pieces of information, but complete documents.

InfoWallet

InfoWallet can compress and encrypt attachments and holds virtually any kind of document. InfoWallet resides on your USB flash drive, so gigabytes of storage are available for nominal cost.

InfoWallet

The app itself runs on Macs or PCs.

Security, Security, Security, And Convenience

As long as I’ve been online I’ve worried about having personal information ripped from my computers or online accounts by some really smart hacker who stumbles upon my identity. Now I can carry my identity with me.

InfoWallet encrypts everything (AES (128, 192, 256 bit), Blowfish (128 bit), TripleDES (192 bit) ) so even if you lose the flash drive it’s next to impossible for someone with the right knowledge to crack into the data

The list of what you can stick into InfoWallet is lengthy—more so if you’re truly paranoid.

The InfoWallet timeline lets you view your entries, including doctor visits and medical information, as well as medical history—perfect for medications, dosages, and much more.

Even insurance policies, bank and financial information, can be stored (documents and details) in InfoWallet. Even better, multiple family members can have their own data files and multiple wallets.

InfoWallet installs on a USB flash drive on any Mac or Windows PC (even Linux PCs), or it can be installed directly onto the computer. If you’re worried about important information being backed up and offline, this is one app and solution to look at closely.
