iPhone secure wallet app (#SPBWallet)

Mike Hudson Leave a comment

As websitespolicys call for tighter security and more complex passwords, a decent and secure place for storing all your account information is essential. There are many applications on the market, however not all of them are as feature rich as SPB Software’s wallet application.

The application was first released for windows mobile phones, an application which sync’s flawlessly with Windows desktop computers. This very rapidly made it’s way to one of my most used applications. Storing all sorts of logon credentials for PC’sServers and websites. Gradually building up to contain even more information, such as door lock codes, alarm codes and car VIN details.
When I moved over to my new phone (iPhone 3GS) i soon noticed just how much I missed the application. Luckily SPB Software have released a version for the iPhone. Which (like the windows version) boasts a large features list that power users will love.
