The average person in the UK has to remember around twenty passwords, PINs and combinations. How are you meant to keep that lot secure without writing them down?
Most people go for either a difficult-to-remember, long list of nonsense alphanumerics or some variant on the tried and trusted “just use the word password, they’ll never think of that” – a bit of doomed reverse psychology that will have your identity stolen before you can say “Mum’s Maiden Name”.
Phone Wallet lets you store all your passwords in a small database that you can carry about in your S60 3rd Edition phone. You can file passwords in different categories (e.g. Financial, Internet, etc.) and you can even use the app to store other useful info such as your car insurance details.
It is a case of all your eggs being in one basket (not to mention being secured with yet another password..) but everything is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), as used by the US Government to protect classified data.
Phone Wallet is available for $9.99, with a free trial available here.
