- 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 yo
...
ur 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.

, August 27, 2007Reviewer: afloesch - See all afloesch's reviewsPros: 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. ...

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 ...
