Securely Remember Sensitive Information with Lock Box Pro App for iPhone

One of the biggest advantages to mobile devices ever since their creation has been the ability to allow you to actually remember information like passwords, account numbers and pin numbers just by writing them down in a notepad on your phone. That kind of easy reference can’t be beat in terms of convenience, but the increasing sophistication of identity thieves these days has also made it a risky thing to do. Programs like Lock Box Pro app for iPhone attempt to solve this problem.

3DES encryption

Supposedly, the Keychain standard from Apple has 3DES encryption of a level which is highly secure. For the average person, it is a great standard for storing this type of sensitive information so that you can gain access to it when you need it (i.e. you have it handy for all kinds of situations). However, the implementation used in Lock Box Pro iPhone app is highly suspect at the moment as it appears that there are more than a few dissatisfied customers with the standard that this iPhone app claims to use.

Import data from other sources

Another feature of iPhone Lock Box Pro app is the ability to important the information that you want to store from another source. This prevents you from having to enter things in manually and theoretically could end up saving you a lot of time and hassle. However, Lock Box Pro app for iPhone ones again suffers from implementation issues here as there have been more than a few bugs reported whereby some or even all of the imported data was corrupted along the way. A fix for this has been promised, but it has been nearly a year now and the company has yet to put something out to definitively remove the problem.

Final Score

In theory, the idea behind Lock Box Pro app for iPhone is a good one. This iPhone app under ideal circumstances should allow you to carry around sensitive information for easy and handy access in a timely fashion without having to worry about the potential security risks that could result from such a move. Unfortunately, Lock Box Pro iPhone app is plagued by several minor and even a few major problems. Right now, it is not an app worth downloading on its own merit and one can only hope that in the future this mobile application is made better. Right now, it gets a final score of 6 out of 10 from our reviewers.
