GETTING STARTED GUIDE

for Android

SplashID Safe provides quick and easy access to all of your personal identification information, including usernames, passwords, credit cards, PINs, calling card numbers, frequent flyer numbers, insurance info and more. Data is stored in a secure, encrypted, password protected format and can be synchronized between SplashID Safe on your mobile device and SplashID Safe on the desktop (Windows, Mac OS, and web). You may prefer to do most of your data entry on the desktop, however, since it's faster and easier with a keyboard, and then synchronize the data with your mobile.

Based on an all new SplashID 7.0 architecture, SplashID Safe is now the only password manager that lets the user choose how to handle sensitive records:

The record list is your main view for SplashID Safe. From here you will browse, search, add, edit, and view records.

When you tap on a record in the Record List, it opens the Record Details screen. From here you can copy by long-tapping a field, edit or delete the record, send the record, or open a web login in the built-in browser.

While viewing a record, tap the Edit button to make changes. This is also what you see when you tap the New Record button from the Record List.

A couple of menu options are available on this screen as well:

• Customize Fields -- You may customize field labels or set the field masking. You may also edit field labels globally by going to Record List > Settings > Edit Types.
• Generate Password -- Opens our strong password generator tool. See below.

To generate a password:

1. Select the field in which you wish to generate a password.
2. Press Menu > Generate Password.
3. Set the Length.
4. Choose from the "Include these Characters" table one or more options of letters, numbers, symbols, or a combination thereof. The Strength meter will show you how strong the password will be based on the selected attributes.
5. Tap Generate. A password will be displayed for your review.
6. Tap Generate again to generate a new one until you find one you like.
7. Tap Select when you have decided.

The difference between Categories and Types is best illustrated by example. You use Categories to separate your Business records from your Personal records, while you use Types to separate your Credit Card records from your Web Login records.

Categories act as filters for grouping related records. The two predefined Categories are Business and Personal, though you may add more by choosing Edit Categories from the Settings screen.

Types act as templates, which define the structure for the items you want to store in SplashID. You may define up to 9 Custom field labels and a default icon for each type, as well as specify the fields you wish to mask. For example, you may create a type for Web Logins, which includes Custom field labels for username, password and URL, with a globe icon, and the password field masked; and you may create a Type for Credit Cards which includes Custom field labels for credit card number, expiration date and PIN, with a Visa icon, and the credit card number and PIN masked.

Below is a brief description of what each of the settings do.

• Email -- This email address needs to be valid and the same on every version of SplashID Safe you use.
• Change Email -- Use this tool if you need to change your email for some reason.
• Account Summary & Sync -- View your account status and switch to a different sync solution.
• Account Password -- Select to edit the password protecting SplashID. See Security for more info.

• Getting Started Guide -- This guide.
• Send Feedback -- This tool is intended to be used to make suggestions or feature requests. You will not get a reply to this email, so if you need technical support, please submit a ticket.
• About SplashID -- Displays the version info.

Setting a Password -- You must set a password to protect your data.

• Remember this password. You will need to use this same password to open SplashID Safe on all platforms.
• Your password must be at least 4 characters in length.
• This password is case sensitive.
  
• A strong password of at least 6 characters including at least one number, one upper case character, and one non-alphanumeric character is strongly recommended.
• Once you set a password, SplashID encrypts your data using 256-bit Blowfish encryption to ensure data security.
• You can optionally enter a hint to remind you of your password if you forget.
  

Entering a Password -- You will be required to enter your password each time you launch SplashID, or when you turn on your handheld if SplashID was last running when it was turned off.

Changing a Password -- To change a password, select Set Password from the Settings screen, enter your Old Password, then enter and confirm the New Password.

When viewing the Record Info, tap the menu button, then select Email vID. Then you have the option to set a password, which will encrypt the file and is recommended. Then you will be taken to a screen where you enter the recipient address, subject, and any message you wish to add. A SplashID vID file will be attached to the email containing the record data. It can only be imported into the SplashID Safe desktop or web applications.

You have an important choice to make between local Wi-Fi sync and SplashID Cloud Services. Here's how they are used:

Backup
From the Menu Options, select Backup SplashID. This will make a full backup of your encrypted SplashID database on your SD card. This way you can restore the database later if you delete and reinstall SplashID, have data loss, or if you change devices.

Restore
From the Menu Options, select Backup SplashID. Please note that the password on your database will be replaced with the password you set at the time of the backup.

Desktop
The other better option to backup your SplashID data is to sync with the SplashID Safe desktop. You can download it from splashid.com.
