About

TK Vault

Today, we are overloaded with information making life more complicated and security has become the biggest concern. As part of our regular routine, we need certain key information to access our personal or professional data from different portals, servers, cloud etc. The magnitude of these key information is so huge that it is impractical to remember them all and interestingly we are advised not to to write or record them anywhere for obvious reasons and most importantly these key information changes periodically making our life further more complicated. So what's the option out there? This app, TK Vault, built by an 11 year old kid, Anshuman, allows us to store such key information, secured by a 2 step verification (Biometric + Passcode) so that we can keep our important information handy (on our phone or tablet) still they are secured. You need to just remember one password and that gives you access to all other key information at your fingertips. Remembering just one password does not seem to be a difficult one to deal with.
