Introduction

SplashID provides quick and easy access to all of your sensitive 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 on your Series 60 phone.

Installation

Connect your phone to your desktop computer. Double-click the SplashIDS60.SIS file to install it on your phone.

Registration

When you launch SplashID you will be prompted to enter a registration code or to run in Trial mode. You may run the software for 30-days in full-functioning Trial mode. The Trial software and Registered software are identical. Once the trial period ends you must purchase and enter a registration code to continue using the software. You do not need to re-install the software. Simply enter a registration code and your Trial version will be converted into a Registered version and all your data will remain intact.

Types and Categories


Types

The difference between Categories and Types is best illustrated by example. You may 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 pre-defined Categories are Business and Personal, though you may add more by choosing Edit Categories from the Category menu.

Types act as templates, which define the structure for the items you want to store in SplashID. You may define up to 6 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.

 

Edit Types -- Select Edit Types from the type menu to display the Edit Types dialog. You may create an unlimited number of Types. Several sample Types are provided, which you may edit or delete. Select an existing type, press the Options key and select edit, or select New to create a new one. The Define type dialog is displayed.

Masking


Fields that are Masked appear as four asterisks (****). You may show or hide the masked data by selecting Mask/Unmask data from the Options menu, or by pressing the "*" key on the keypad.

If you wish to permanently mask or unmask a field for a given Type, you can change its mask setting in the Edit Type dialog.

If you wish to change the mask settings for the given record, you can do this in the Custom Field Labels dialog.


Security


Set Password Dialog

Enter Password Dialog

Security Options

You can secure your data in SplashID so that a password must be entered to access the application. You will be required to enter the password when launching SplashID, or when waking your phone if SplashID was last running when it went to sleep. Once you set a password, SplashID encrypts your data using Blowfish encryption to ensure data security.

  • Setting a Password -- To set a password, select Set Password from the Options Menu in either the List View or Detail View. The Set Password dialog is displayed. Enter a password in the New Password field, and verify the password by entering it again in the Confirm field. 
  • Entering a Password -- You will be required to enter your password each time you launch SplashID, or when you next use your phone if SplashID was last running when it became idle.
  • Changing a Password -- To change a password, select Password from the Options Menu, enter your Old Password, then enter and confirm the New Password.
  • Removing a Password -- To remove a password, select Set Password from the Options Menu, enter your Old Password, then leave the New Password and Confirm fields blank.

Security Options -- Choose Security Options from the Options menu to specify the period of time that must elapse before SplashID auto-locks. Once SplashID locks, you must enter your password to open SplashID. There are two settings for the Security Options:

  • Lock when idle --  When the phone becomes idle, SplashID will lock immediately by default.
  • Lock in background -- If you switch to another application, SplashID will lock immediately by default.

If you wish, you may specify a longer delay, at the risk of less security. If you have specified a longer delay (e.g., 10 minutes) but then desire to lock SplashID immediately, you may select Lock Now from the Options Menu (or press the "#" key).

Importing Data

The SplashID Standalone Desktop is included with your purchase of SplashID for Series 60. You can download it here:

SplashID Password Manager Standalone Desktop

To import data from the Palm (or other) version:

  1. Launch SplashID Desktop for Palm OS.
  2. Select File > Export > SplashID VID and save the records. Password is optional.
  3. Launch SplashID Standalone Desktop.
  4. Select File > Import > SplashID vID and select the file you exported in step 2.

The Series 60 version of SplashID does not synchronize with the SplashID desktop like the other platform versions at this time.

This version can, however, import vID files from internal memory or a card. We suggest using the card method as it's easier to navigate to the file.

To import a vID file via the card do the following:

  1. Export a vID file from File > Export in SplashID desktop
  2. Copy the vID file from SplashID desktop to a memory card
  3. Insert the card in your device and choose Import... from the Options menu. The card is E.

If you Bluetooth the file to the device, it'll be in:

C:\system\Mail\<cryptic folder name>\<subfolder>\vID file name
