With cross platform availability, the same passwords on your phone can be synced with your Windows or Linux PC or even your Mac. Every password, PIN, credit card number and note that’s stored is done so securely online. It doesn’t matter if your phone gets lost, stolen, soaked or damaged because no data is stored on your phone. It also meant that I had to be at a PC to create the file but Spideroak are currently looking to implement this as an option in an upcoming release.Įncryptr is the solution to the problem. It meant that if I didn’t have a phone signal I was a bit stuck, but only passwords for internet based systems were being stored. Hive is the latter, so my passwords are securely synced with every machine I choose to sign in with. Spideroak has a couple of options, data is stored per machine or shared with all machines signed in to that account. After a quick search I decided the best way was to use Spideroak’s Hive. All associated data is encrypted and can only be decrypted with a passcode, password, phrase, or similar.įor a little while now (since Dropbox was hacked for the second time) I’ve been looking for something that uses Spideroak’s approach, end point decryption for keeping passwords secure. Not GHCQ, not David Bloody Cameron, not the FBI, not even Spideroak themselves. This got Spideroak some criticism because with ZeroKnowledge systems, only the end user (that’s you) can read what’s stored.
Like Spideroak, at its core it is built on the ZeroKnowledge principle. Some apps really do shine through though, Tasker, AutoRemote, Titanium Backup, Spideroak. Not because people don’t think about what they’re doing, but because there are so many out there that are either sloppy/lazy, through no fault of their own the developers don’t have the experience, or because they’re looking at a means of making money (adverts, data theft etc.). The Raspberry Pi is probably the first thing that comes to mind, the Pebble watch is another. Every now and then something comes along where you can see somebody’s put some serious thought in to what they’re designing.
