My new favorite app
TLDR: Though it isn’t perfect, it’s got great functionality and it’s a great value at this price when you consider what you’re getting and what the alternatives would cost you. And consider that it is new; some reviews are a year old but they only exited Beta in October 2023 so I’d take any complaints written prior to November 2023 with a grain of salt.
The premise…For the newbies:
I’m no expert but here’s my take after spending the last month learning about the nightmares of data breaches, data brokers, phishing and hackers, etc. Everyone says you need a password manager so you have unique passwords for every site, so if one is breached then hackers/thieves be able to just input your password into all the other websites you use and gain access. Super advice. And of course you’d need a password manager to handle that organization for you or it’d be impossible to keep track of so many passwords. BUT ALSO … it turns out your email address and phone number are unique identifiers, like your social security number, thus they too should be protected and kept more private. So what if instead of giving out your actual phone number and email address, you had a different phone number and email address for every website. And any time you want you could turn off or delete a number or email in just seconds—without the hassle of having to create a new email account or get a new phone number.
You create an “Identity” as they call it, for each website or contact you can assign a unique email, phone number, password, user ID, etc. Unlimited Identities, unlimited email addresses, unlimited phone numbers…all managed in an interface similar to a password manager + email inbox + VOIP phone.
I first heard about Cloaked on the privacy channel All Things Secured by Josh Summers and the premise of it got me very intrigued.
EMAILS:
I was previously considering Simple Login (now part of Proton) before I heard about Cloaked. Aside from watching a few YouTube reviews on Simple Login and alternatives, I haven’t tried them for myself so I can’t really compare and contrast. But I can say that it seems to work flawlessly and effortlessly within Cloaked so I can’t imagine having any complaints or regrets.
PHONE NUMBERS:
I was previously considering My Sudo before I heard about Cloaked. Josh Summers said in his video that My Sudo had certain limitations that Cloaked overcomes with their solution. You get unlimited numbers with cloaked. Each Identity can have its own number. BUT…this is where I’d say things aren’t quite perfect. Granted this is a new company and they’re still perfecting their solution, know that it’ll work for many use cases but just not for all use cases. You get unlimited VOIP numbers. But some websites won’t accept VOIP if you need 2FA. Most will, but some won’t. So the fallback solution there is Cloaked uses England telephone numbers, and this works for most websites but is troublesome with some. For example I was able to create a Signal account using a number Cloaked generated from England, but Google wouldn’t accept an England number to create a new Gmail account. Thus I say, these Cloaked numbers will work for most of your use cases, and thus greatly enhance your privacy and security; but know that it’s got a few limitations. You can set any of your Identity phone numbers to route directly to your true phone number for calls and texts, and any response texts or calls you make back will not reveal your true number but instead display your Cloaked number that’s unique to that contact. As far as I have searched, no other service offers this. My Sudo lets you buy VOIP numbers in various pricing tiers but you pay something like $1/number each month.
Coming in 2024: virtual credit cards. I’m excited to see what this is about. I haven’t yet gone this far into data security/privacy but was about to consider a highly regarded vendor called Privacy.com for that. I’ll wait to see what Cloaked has to offer first.
They have some independently audited certifications on customer data privacy and security. I don’t recall the name off the top of my head but look at TechCrunch or similar news articles on Cloaked and it’s mentioned.
SUMMARY: to get elsewhere what I want that Cloaked offers in a single integrated service, I’d need to subscribe to Simple Login [Proton Pass], My Sudo, and a password manager. (I actually have a separate password manager that I’ll keep for now.) But My Sudo can’t so what Cloaked does, and it costs more. Then add in Simple Login and now it costs much more per month than Cloaked, and it’s in two different apps that aren’t integrated, so I’d then need a third app to manage passwords and input info from the two other apps. That would be tedious, messy and more expensive.Show lessa6261
The new standard for privacy & security
Cloaked is an absolute game changer. The ability to generate emails and phone numbers for specific accounts is intuitive, quick, and incredibly useful. I use this as a standard for any sign up. It makes the “old” method of simply generating email aliases through other platforms to get privacy esoteric. The ability to approve specific contacts for the ability to communicate with you through any specific cloaked sign up - truly another layer of security on top of the anonymity. Everyone should use this application to prevent privacy intrusions and further the fight against big data. Truly amazing and honest highest recommendation. Huzzah!Show lessJrr2the.x
A crucial line of defense!
I use to sell a credit card at work, the amount of horror stories I heard is insane. Everyone thinks that identity theft, scams, data breaches, and hacks will never happen to them. The fact that I met several people a week that had been compromised in some way, says it’s not as rare as you think. Omaha Nebraska isn’t small by any means, but this stuff is happening by the minute in larger communities, by the second globally 🙈.
I’ve now switched to using a credit card for 100% of my purchases for the safety that it provides. I shred anything with personal information on it. I’ve locked all credit/debit cards that I don’t use on a regular basis. I changed all my passwords and login names in cases that used an email address. I kicked gmail to the curb because they let advertisers scan your emails for targeted marketing. You definitely get what you pay for with the free email accounts. I use an identity monitoring service. The greatest thing about that, is that it removed me from all these you’re approved credit card mailers 🙈. When I get mail now, it’s actually a legitimate piece of mail 🥳 everything that I do now has happened over the course of 2 years, the more horror stories I heard, I’d add another line of defense.
Cloaked is the last and most crucial part of my defense. I can create a new identity in seconds for anything that I need. I love the 2FA within each identity. No more finding the correct authenticator app 🤬 Cloaked is getting ready to release a cloaked payment option in early 2024 I believe it said, I and so many others are looking forward to this feature. They are literally becoming a one stop shop for all things private and secure.
I know Cloaked has been around for a bit, I didn’t find it until a couple months ago. I am so incredibly grateful to Arjun and the whole entire Cloaked community for being here and looking out for us and our safety. Thank you Cloaked team 🥰Show lessWhtimiswhtugt
Feels great
When I am forced to give out my number to a corp feels great to cloakem , to make up a word. Yes you can have a working number, but not my cell # Spinning up new contact info at will solves a bunch of problems. Making new accounts is now funimusthaveanickname
Taking Back Control
My Experience with Cloaked as a Cybersecurity Expert.
In today's world, our personal information is like gold, and everyone seems to want a piece of it. It's pretty scary how much of our data is out there, just floating around. That’s where Cloaked steps in, and honestly, it's like having a digital superhero by your side. As a cybersecurity expert, I see tons of products promising to protect your data, but Cloaked actually lives up to the hype.
At the heart of Cloaked is this cool idea of 'Privacy by Design.' It's not just a catchy phrase; it’s how Cloaked is built from the ground up. They give each user their own encrypted database, which is like having a personal vault for your digital identities. It's all locked up with end-to-end encryption, which in simple terms, means only you have the keys to your data kingdom.
Now, let’s talk about how easy it is to use Cloaked. You can whip up secure phone numbers, emails, usernames, and passwords in a snap. It's like having different masks for different online stages, whether you're shopping, dating, or just browsing. And the best part? You can do all of this without getting bombarded by spam or unwanted calls.
One feature that blew my mind is AutoCloak. Imagine you hear about a big company getting hacked, and you have an account there. Instead of panicking, with Cloaked, you just hit ‘AutoCloak’ and boom, your login details get a fresh update across the board. It’s like having a personal security guard who jumps into action when things get dicey.
Also, they have this built-in password manager which is a lifesaver. You don’t have to remember a zillion passwords; Cloaked has your back. It safely stores all your passwords and lets you access them easily, whether on your phone or computer.
Cloaked isn’t just a desktop buddy; it’s got your back on-the-go too. With its mobile app and web extension, it's like having a privacy shield no matter where you are or what device you're using. And the interface is a breeze; it’s clear, simple, and does the heavy lifting without making you break a sweat.
The folks at Cloaked aren’t stopping here. They’ve got plans for new features like Cloaked Pay to keep your card info safe. It's reassuring to see a platform that’s always evolving, ready to tackle whatever new privacy challenges the online world throws our way.
The buzz around Cloaked isn’t just talk. They recently bagged some serious investment in a funding round, showing that the big guns believe in what they’re doing too.
So, to wrap it up, Cloaked isn’t just another app; it’s a robust tool with a clear mission to help us take control of our digital lives. And from a cybersecurity expert’s lens, it’s doing a darn good job at it. With Cloaked, it feels like we can finally fight back against the data-grab frenzy and navigate the online world with a sense of security.Show lessFischer 1994
