Phone Wallet safely stores confidential PIN numbers and passwords on a phone and on a PC/ 11.06.2009 05:06
Active Internet users tend to have tens of user names and passwords saved in different services. In addition, many people have debit and credit cards with PIN numbers. Doors may have electronics locks that can only be opened with a passcode. Not to mention PIN numbers required by mobile phones, PCs and other electronic devices. We don't know about you, but we have given up a long time ago. We don't even try to remember every PIN and secret code. Instead, we store our valuable passcodes and ID numbers into a database. This method allows us to use long passwords, which is always safer than easy-to-remember short passwords. Only one thing has been troubling us; how do we take the confidential data with us when we leave our PC behind?
SymbianGuru has solved our problem of having confidential information always at hand. The company has created Phone Wallet, a piece of software that runs both on a mobile phone and on a PC. An encrypted database that holds valuable PIN and password information can be synchronized between the phone and the PC. Information can be added and modified both on the phone and on the PC. You just have to sync the Phone Wallet every now and then.
