Product Description
- Think of ID Vault as a personal digital safe to store your most important online information: your usernames and passwords. ONLY YOU have access to your personal information: ONLY YOU physically have your ID Vault safe and ONLY YOU know the PIN to unlock your ID Vault safe.
- To access your online financial accounts, you only need to enter your username and password (in security industry parlance this is known as single-factor authentication; you only need something you know to access to your accounts). A cybercriminal, physically located anywhere in the world, can easily steal your sign-in credentials, gain access to your online accounts, and execute fraudulent financial transactions. Security industry experts have long known that so-called two-factor authentication, which requires both something you know and something you have to access your online accounts, is much more secure. Financial institutions use two-factor authentication with ATMs. To withdraw money from an ATM, you must present both an ATM card (something you have) and a PIN (something you know). Two-factor authentication for online financial accounts requires that you have a digital safe (in security industry parlance, a security token) to store your online sign-in information. Cybercriminals can easily steal the usernames and passwords you type into web pages, but they can't steal information stored in your ID Vault digital safe.
- ID Vault is a USB security token with an embedded smart card chip. To access your financial accounts with ID Vault you need two-factors; you need your ID Vault PIN (something you know), and you need your ID Vault itself (something you have). If a thief steals your ID Vault , they can't use it without your PIN. If a thief steals your ID Vault PIN, they can't use it without having your ID Vault. ID Vault is available for you to use now ; don't wait for your financial institution to give you a security token (you're not waiting for your bank to give you a shredder!). Furthermore, ID Vault works with virtually all financial institutions; one device gives you secure access to all your accounts (you don't want a separate security token for each of your online accounts!). With ID Vault , you can take control of your online security.
- ID Vault is incredibly easy to use. ID Vault plugs into any PC USB port. A single PIN controls access to the sign-in credentials safely stored in ID Vault's secure smart card chip; no need to remember all those usernames and passwords!.
- ID Vault is the only security product available directly to consumers that uses smart card technology. Federal banking regulators recommend smart card technology for two-factor security tokens.
- Setting up your ID Vault is easy. ID Vault provides a simple wizard interface to guide you through the process of setting-up your Financial Secure
- GuardID Systems maintains an extensive database of thousands of online financial sites, and updates it daily to insure accuracy. Every time you use your ID Vault to sign-in to a financial site, ID Vault checks your sign-in request against our database. This real-time cross-check gives you additional protection against sophisticated pharming and phishing hacker attacks.
- You can easily back-up the information stored in your ID Vaulttm. If your ID Vaulttm is stolen, no one can access the information stored in your ID Vaulttm without knowing your PIN.

Pros:
Stores all my user names and passwords, easy to use, portable compact, compatible with all my financial sites |
|
|
|
| Cons:
none I love my ID Vault. It saves all my user names and passwords and provides secure and FAST log-in's to all of my password protected websites. The device stores my user names and passwords on it so they are never stored on my computer. It's easy, compact and relatively low-cost investment for a lot of security/piece-of-mind

Pros:
securing financial usernames/passwords |
|

Cons:
none I have been using ID Vault for about three months now, and I love it so much I felt compelled to write this review. It stores all of my usernames and passwords for all of my accounts, and to open them all I have to remember is the PIN number.
Works great on my desktop and notebook, which are both pretty basic systems. The notebook has only 512MB of Ram with a fairly old processor, and the ID Vault still works great.

| Cons:
Irritating pop-ups in far too many sites I bought this based on the claims made re security features. I cannot comment on the veracity of that. I will take their word for it. However, there is one big problem with the software. You would think that the software would pop-up asking you whether you want to make something a secure site only in sites that need a password to access it. Not so. For some strange reason it pops up when you are browsing some simple sites also, and when you try to close it, the pop up screen comes up with the same question 3 or 4 times before it follows your directions. Buggy!
