Spb Wallet 2.0 makes it easy to store all of your unique passwords in one secure spot.

Think for a second about how many different websites you log in to each and every day. Next, think about the passwords that you use with each site. If you’re like many people, you probably have one or two passwords that you use on a number of sites. But using the same password for your bank, Amazon, credit cards, eBay, and other online venues isn’t a good idea: If one site were to get hacked, your username and password (which is likely the same for other sites) could end up in the wrong hands.

Strong Passwords: Good in Theory, Hard to Implement

To help protect against these dangers, it’s best to use a different secure password at each site. While a good practice, it’s not completely practical since many of us can’t remember that many passwords. To help make using secure (and unique) passwords a bit more doable, Spb has released Spb Wallet.

Your Secure Repository

Spb Wallet 2.0 offers a number of options for customization.

Spb Wallet is a secure repository of private information. In this program, you can store things such as PINs, passwords, keys, account, passport, and credit card numbers. Best of all, your data will still be secure.

Spb Wallet is available for both non-touchscreen and touchscreen Windows Mobile devices, Symbian Series 60 smartphones (including Nokia 5800 touch screen), Apple's iPhone and iPod, and a desktop component. Spb Wallet securely stores sensitive information using AES 256-encryption. This program is password protected, so you’ll only have to remember one password to look up all of the others. The program also supports automatic lock up, clipboard cleanup, and helps to protect from phishing.

Multiple Repositories

Spb Wallet also lets you synchronize data between multiple PCs and mobile devices. This could be particularly handy for husbands and wives who share online logins.

New Features

The latest version of Spb Wallet 2.0 for Windows Mobile has an auto complete feature for Pocket Internet Explorer, a new finger-friendly user interface, adaptive skins, smart scrolling, gestures, animation effects, and a new logon panel. The desktop version can also integrate with web browsers and can automatically supply and capture login information from websites.

If you’re stuck trying to think of a password, Spb Wallet can generate one for you.

Try for Yourself

Spb Wallet 2.0 can generate a password for you.
