You may not have much money, but you can still pretend you do with a new free iPhone app that uses Swiss banks data centres to protect your passwords.
DataInherit.com, an online bank for private password and document storage, has announced the launch of its free iPhone app, DataInherit Password Safe. The app gives its users, wherever they live (not just Switzerland!) the ability to manage and access their passwords through their iPhone. The app also offers high security and unique emergency protection through built-in data inheritance features.
In contrast to other similar apps, DataInherit stores passwords centrally in its Swiss banking data centers. According to DataInherit.com, centralized storage makes a difference as customers only need to enter or change a password once and then they have it available anytime and from all devices. The central data center also offers highest protection against loss as well as providing long-term preservation of customer data, according to the company at least.
"We received numerous requests from customers to provide the DataInherit Password Safe on the iPhone. They have become comfortable with using our service online but they wanted the added convenience of the service on their mobile phone. We have put an emphasis on making it simple and have focussed the app on what it's all about: Passwords available quickly when you need them," said Andreas Jacob, Director of Customer Business at DSwiss.
Existing DataInherit customers can download the DataInherit app from the iTunes store, or new customers can open a free account on
www.datainherit.com in less than a minute and will be able to use the iPhone app immediately.
