There is no online databases or other shared services with the exception of an encrypted backup in iCloud if you so choose. Version 2.0 adds the ability to send and encrypted backup to your email and import it back just in case you lose everything. This app is very simple to use, create a local user, add your data, review when ever you forget a password or account number that you need. Worried about how safe the encryption method is: Andrey Bogdanov a key crypto researcher from the K.U.Leuven University recently stated: "To put this into perspective: on a trillion machines, that each could test a billion keys per second, it would take more than two billion years to recover an AES-128 key," We are using one-way hashing methods and AES-256 not 128. The only way someone is going to get in is if they guess your password, so be sure to make your password strong, don't use dictionary words and include numbers and special characters.
