The Vault
This screen is the first you will see when using The Vault. You must enter your password in order to view or edit your confidential data. The first time you run The Vault it will ask for a New Password. Try to use a password that you will remember but will be hard for others to guess. Don't use very short, 1 or 2 character passwords. A numeric PIN is also usable. All your data is encrypted when stored on your iPhone and your password is used to encrypt the data when stored and to decrypt the data for viewing. You can change your password later by using the Tools menu which you can get to by tapping the Tools button on the bottom Toolbar of the other screens. In the "Settings" tool, you can select whether the entire password will be shown while you type, or just the last letter typed.
This screen shows you all your secrets. You should see this screen when you select the All Secrets button on the bottom Toolbar. You can scroll through them and select one to view or edit. Just tap on the one you want to view or change. On the top left of each secret, in large type, is the Identification of the secret. The information shown here depends on the type of secret. On the bottom left, in smaller type, is the Group that the secret has been assigned to. On the top right may be other information that is used to further identify the secret. On the bottom right is the type of secret.
This screen shows all the groups. You should see this screen when you select the Groups button on the bottom Toolbar. You select a group to see all the secrets assigned to that group. You can add or delete groups from the Tools menu which can be reached by tapping on the Tools button on the bottom Toolbar. The Vault installs two groups automatically when it is first started, Personal and Business. You can delete these groups if you don't want them. All items that are not assigned to a group are automatically placed in to the (unassigned) group, which cannot be deleted. The (unassigned) group can be hidden via the Settings Tool.
This screen is what you see when you add a secret. It allows you to select the type of secret you want to add. Each type of secret has different pieces of information that apply to that type. For example, a computer secret has a computer name, a user identification and a password. All secret types are assigned to a group and have an area for Notes.
This screen is the screen that allows you to add or edit a Computer secret. There are similar screens for each of the different secret types containing the information fields that apply to that type of secret. You can ignore any fields that you don't want to fill in except the first one which is the identification of the secret and is used to sort the secrets alphabetically.
This screen shows the Notes text area with a Keyboard. Enter your note, and tap on Save to save the note or Cancel to cancel your editing. You can use the Return key on the keyboard to enter a carriage return to get to a new line. As with all iPhone text areas, when editing text, you can reposition the cursor by holding your finger down until a magnifying glass appears and then you can drag it to where you want the cursor to be.
This screen shows the Tools menu. From here you can add or delete groups, change your password, export your secrets via Wifi connection, change program settings, or view the information about the program.
This screen shows the Settings page. The settings allow you to...
- When entering the main password, you can hide the typed keys (except the last one typed, to allow for error-checking), or show all the typed keys.
- The items that are not assigned to a group are automatically assigned to a permanent group called (unassigned). This setting allows you to show or hide that group.
- During Notes entry, the keyboard auto-correction feature, which suggests corrected typing when the iPhone/iPod Touch detects what it determines is a spelling error, can be turned on or off.
- During Notes entry, the keyboard auto-capitalization feature, which automatically capitalizes words at the beginning of a sentence, can be turned on or off.
- The export password, which is a one-time password used to authorize access to your data when the Export tool is used, can be set to DualCase, or for easer typing, just lowercase.
This screen shows the Export data page. You will see this screen after tapping on the Export Data button in the Tools menu, but only if you have WiFi enabled, and you are connected to a WiFi network. The screen shows the URL that you must type into the address area of your Web browser on your computer. Your computer must be on the same WiFi network as your iPhone/iPod Touch. Once you enter the URL, your browser should show you a screen that looks like....
If you click on the button labeled "View All Data" you will then be shown all of your secret data on a single page...
When you are done with all of your viewing of your secrets using your Web Browser, tap the "End Communication" button on your iPhone/iPod Touch.
