## What is The Vault?

◆ NO subscriptions - Free with optional One-Time charges ◆

Do you...
... have trouble remembering tens or hundreds of online passwords? 
... write passwords down somewhere, even though you know this is not the safest thing to do?
... use the same ("cleverly" modified) password in multiple places, instead of using properly randomized passwords that offer the best security?
... sometimes wish you had a photo of a creditcard, passport or other document handy?
... want to securely store lots of other confidential information, photos, animated GIFs, office documents, you name it?
... want all this to be secure, but still very simple to use?

Then ◆The Vault◆ is for you!

The Vault provides straightforward, easy to use, secure storage for all your documents and other data, such as passwords, login credentials and any other confidential information. It can securely store any number of documents, images, screenshots or photos along with your confidential information.

* 256-bit AES encryption *
While storage and access is simple, The Vault uses rock-solid, industry standard encryption.
[technical details below]


◆ ◆ ◆  WHY IS IT BETTER ? ◆ ◆ ◆ 

▸ See all features: bit.ly/TheVault-Features

▸ The Vault is very simple to use, yet it employs industry-standard encryption to keep your data safe.
(Some other - payed -  apps do too, but some apps advertised as "secure" really do not, and for example save your data using a simple base-64 encoding: your information looks scrambled, but is as readable as plain text when you know how).

▸ The Vault will - never - show ad banners! We hate them too.

▸ The Vault stores information on * your * device. Not on some server somewhere on the net.

▸ Securely storing information is as simple as entering free text!

▸ The Vault can securely store photos and pictures from your camera or photo library; for example a copy of your passport, credit card, or just the serial numbers of some equipment you own. Anything.

▸ The Vault can securely store - and play - animated GIFs.

▸ The Vault can securely store *any* office or other document.

▸ Many secured documents can be viewed directly from The Vault, including PDFs, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Powerpoint, Excel and Word files.  

▸ You can optionally import data exported from your previous password app (or any other source that can provide the data).

▸ Automatically and securely backups your data!


◆ ◆ ◆  TECHNICAL DETAILS  ◆ ◆ ◆ 

This is the part that matters.
This is the part that is hard to get right.
This is the part that makes the difference between actual security and insecurity.

Claiming “military-grade” (or “industry standard” ;-) encryption is meaningless.
Even claiming “256-bit AES encryption”, in itself is not very meaningful.

Example: 
Claiming “military-grade” encryption and subsequently simply hashing a master passcode - e.g. using SHA, or MD5 is NOT good. 
What ís good is to use a proper key derivation algorithm such as PBKDF2, scrypt or bcrypt.

Another example: 
AES is better than older algorithms such as Blowfish, Twofish or 3DES. 
But even for AES: an app that does not combine encryption with authentication... is doing it wrong. Currently there is some consensus that the best construct is to first encrypt a message and then calculate a message-authentication code, instead of the other way around.

These things matter.

◆ ◆ ◆
The Vault uses PBKDF2 key derivation with an HMAC-SHA512 PRF, and HMAC-SHA256 Encrypt-then-MAC authenticated 256-bit AES encryption, using CommonCrypto functionality only. All cipher and MAC worker keys, as well as all salts and IVs, are purely random data. Keys and IVs are never reused. Each singular piece of data is encrypted with a unique random encryption key, and authenticated with a unique random HMAC key.
Your Master Passcode is never stored; and neither are the derived cipher keys.
◆ ◆ ◆


THE ONLY THING ●YOU● HAVE TO DO?
Choose a long master passcode. Make it long, and make it random!

### 5/5 — Best ever password manager

*2026-06-22*

I have been using this manager for a quite few years now and it is the best. I have tried several other well known managers and they honestly were not as good.  Had a slight hitch using one feature a few days ago, the response was within 24 hours and fixed the problem (my error not the app). Totally satisfied with and unreservedly recommend The Vault.

### 1/5 — Major New Bug

*2026-03-01*

After many years of excellent use, I am now experiencing a major bug. The Vault is repeatedly disappearing immediately after I enter my passcode.  It’s happened many times already - after every attempt. Powering my iPhone 16 off and on did not fix the problem. Upgrading from iOS 26.2 to iOS 26.3 also did not fix the problem. Please fix this as soon as possible as I have a lot of important information that I cannot now access - but urgently need to.

**Developer response:** Hi, please contact support via email and we’ll help you resolve the issue: support at TheVault-app dot com

### 2/5 — Now Crashes on Phone

*2026-02-28, version 8.5.1*

The Vault for years was my go-to place for easily, on my iPhone and iPad, keeping up with numbers, passwords, codes and other important bits of information. The app has many helpful features. 
Now, the app crashes on my phone, upon entry of the PIN. Fortunately it still works on the iPad. Unfortunately I can’t easily carry the big iPad everywhere. If this is not resolved, I will have to migrate. The developer website does not have a contact link, hence this review.

### 1/5 — Unreliable App

*2026-02-24, version 8.5.1*

Lost all my information and it won’t allow me to log back in.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-02-13, version 8.5.1*

The app keeps crashing and I have sent numerous emails but have never received a response. All of my information keeps getting lost.

### 5/5 — excellent customer service

*2026-02-13, version 8.5.1*

They responded in less than 24 hours when I had the first and only problem I have ever had with The Vault, and they had a solution.  I believe this is the safest way to store private information and I have used The Vault for about 15 years now.

### 5/5 — Great App and great support

*2026-02-07, version 8.5.1*

Great app that I have used for many years. Even more impressive is their tech support in the rare event I needed assistance. So fast and so helpful.

### 5/5 — Recommended.

*2026-01-27, version 8.5.1*

I've used The Vault for some years now, and found it excellent. Recently I had an issue: emailed support, and got reply within 24 hours with a detailed resolution. So good service as well as good product.

### 5/5 — Versatile, easy to use, second to none support

*2026-01-23*

This app is brilliant for storing confidential info like passwords, notes, and other content. I use it for writing practitioner notes that I want to keep secure and available across all my devices. After some difficulty on my part with syncing, the Vault team gave me advice and guidance that was incredible - prompt, polite, and useful. These guys are expert at what they do, know their product inside and out, and will get you going with the app in a jiffy. Highly recommended app for its functionality and highly recommended experience with actual humans that can actually help you. A pleasure all round!

### 5/5 — Most Useful App plus great support

*2026-01-12*

I tell all my friends using an iPhone that this is the most useful app they can get.   I have used it for years and have over a hundred passwords stored.   I access it several times per week to check out what my passwords or other account information is.   Just last week I could not get into my account.   After contacting their customer support I got a response within hours with detailed instructions on what to do.   The good news is that I am now back to using the Vault.   Be sure to do secure backup, it saved all my information.
