New SplashID™ Safe Delivers Advanced Protection for Passwords
and Identity Information on Smartphones, Tablets and Computers
SplashID Safe Provides Secure, Customizable, and
Flexible Solution to Protect Critical Information and Keep Data Synchronized
on Multiple Devices
Los Gatos, CA (May 18, 2011) — SplashData, the leading
developer of productivity and security applications for smartphones,
announced today the availability of SplashID Safe, an all-new version
6.0 of the company’s industry-leading password management
suite.
While building on SplashID’s 10-year history of secure information
management, the new SplashID Safe represents a major update with new
applications for Windows and Mac operating systems as well as major
smartphone platforms. SplashID Safe offers capabilities beyond those
of other password and form-filling applications. With full cross-platform
support, it works seamlessly with PC’s, Macs, smartphones and
tablets, including iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry. SplashID
Safe is also a complete solution for storing and organizing a wide
variety of identity information beyond logins, including credit card
numbers, bank accounts, vehicle information, and registration codes.
The most notable new feature of SplashID Safe is a significant enhancement
to SplashID’s synchronization capabilities. SplashID Safe now
offers a single unified desktop application that can sync with SplashID
Safe mobile apps on multiple smartphones or tablets. Unified synchronization
meets the needs of people with multiple devices – for example,
users with both an iPhone and an iPad, or a couple with an Android
smartphone and a BlackBerry. SplashID Safe is unique in offering desktop
software for both Windows and Mac that can sync with native smartphone
and tablet applications on iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry devices.
The new suite’s desktop applications, SplashID Safe for Windows
and SplashID Safe for Mac, feature a redesigned user interface and
improved ease of use with new buttons, information panes, tips, and
a customizable toolbar. Reminders help users remember passwords that
need to be changed or upcoming credit card expiration dates. An advanced
login option creates an alternative to the traditional alphanumeric
password by enabling users to trace a pattern using their mouse or
finger on touchscreen devices. Both desktop applications now offer
an option of generating scheduled email backups in addition to automatic
encrypted backups to a hard drive.
The mobile versions announced today include SplashID Safe for iPhone,
SplashID Safe for iPad, SplashID Safe for Android, and SplashID Safe
for BlackBerry. The mobile versions sync wirelessly with the new desktop
versions as well as with prior versions of SplashID’s desktop
software. A new auto-sync option enables sync to occur automatically
whenever SplashID Safe is launched and authenticated on a user’s
smartphone within range of their PC or Mac. A new search view presents
a cleaner design that loads results faster. Additional features include
improved data copying and a de-dupe tool that helps users find and
eliminate duplicate records.
“In today’s digital world, your personal information has
become one of your most valuable assets,” said Morgan Slain,
CEO of SplashData. “We are proud that for over 10 years SplashID
has helped more than 1 million people worldwide keep their passwords
and identities secure and organized, and this new version ensures even
more people will stay secure on their smartphones, tablets, and computers.”
SplashID Safe’s security features are among the most advanced
of any application in its category. SplashID Safe utilizes dual encryption
with both 256-bit AES and 256-bit Blowfish layers. Truly random passwords
can be generated, reducing the security risks for those that tend to
use the same or similar passwords across multiple accounts. Field masking
is an optional feature that disguises passwords from passersby. SplashID
Safe’s architecture is built around a secure database rather
than a limited card file like some competitive products, so users can
search hundreds or even thousands of stored records quickly. With the
flexibility of a database, users can create new record types and edit
form fields of existing records with ease.
SplashID Safe for Windows and SplashID Safe for Mac are available
for immediate download from www.splashdata.com for $19.95. Registered
users of prior versions of SplashID desktop software (version 5.x or
earlier) are eligible to upgrade for $9.95. Registered users of any
SplashID desktop version who purchased within the past 60 days are
eligible for a free upgrade to SplashID Safe. SplashID Safe for Mac
is also available for purchase from the Mac App Store.
The new SplashID Safe versions for iPhone, iPad, Android are available
for $9.99 on major mobile app stores, including the Apple iTunes App
Store and Android Market, and the BlackBerry version is available at
www.splashdata.com. Registered users of any version of SplashID for
these platforms are eligible for a free upgrade to SplashID Safe.
