About S Vault
!!! WINNER OF THE DUTCH SAMSUNG APP CHALLENGE 2014 !!!
Version history:
Version 1.1.1 (dec. 16, 2014)
* After loading a vault, the primary and alternative authentication methods were displayed incorrectly
* After saving and then loading a vault, the passwords would be recognized as passwords as well as NFC tags. This caused S-Vault to crash when scanning an NFC tag. Vaults saved with version 1.1 have to be saved again.
Version 1.1 (dec. 15, 2014)
+ S-Vault now supports (nearly) every Android device on the market today
+ Added two new authentication methods: NFC and PIN-code
+ You can now have two authentication methods (a primary and an alternative) and you can switch between the two when the vault needs to be opened
+ Added the possibility to save and load the vault to/from storage and cloud services (of course this is heavily encrypted)
* You now need to authenticate when you open the settings dialog (in stead of only when importing or changing passwords)
* Fixed several small bugs causing crashing issues
* Added progress dialog when importing/exporting
* Changed the fingerprint dialog so it's more seamlessly integrated into the app now
Version 1.0 (dec. 4, 2014)
Initial release.
With S-Vault you transform the keyboard on your device into a password vault which can only be accessed through several authentication mechanisms like your fingerprint, NFC and a PIN code! This means that you never have to remember your passwords anymore, because S-Vault will give you access to all your favorite web services and more!
Key features:
- Use your fingerprint, NFC or PIN code to authenticate you on websites or any other service available on your device.
- S-Vault is integrated in your keyboard. You can launch S-Vault from your keyboard.
- You can import your passwords from a variety of password managers like KeePass.
- By pairing with your (Chrome) desktop browser you can use S-Vault to fill in a password there too! The S-Vault extension needed for this feature is available in the Chrome Web Store.
We take security very seriously. Therefore, S-Vault is safe. Very safe. By using a strong AES encryption your passwords are safely stored only on your device. Whenever you need to send a password to your browser, a virtually uncrackable asymmetric RSA encryption with signature verification is used.
To keep it simple: it's what your bank uses.
- We're using industry standard AES and RSA encryption mechanisms to keep your passwords safe. Not even Einstein can crack them!
- You can now use long randomized passwords, a different one for each service. You don't have to remember any of them, you only need S-Vault!
- Your vault is safely stored on your device and cannot be opened by anyone but you. Not even if a hacker steals it from your device.
Whenever you need to enter a password, open the vault by tapping the vault icon on your (on-screen) keyboard, unlock your vault and the correct password will be automatically entered! This also works when you need to enter a password on your desktop browser. Neat huh?

Just playing around with it so far and or does seem to work quite well and as simple as advertised. My only slight quibble is that it should be more explicitly stated that one must use their keyboard for it to work. A minor thing, if I want to text etc I'll switch back to swype, but is a slight annoyance that in the interest of full disclosure should be made more explicit in the app description. That said, setup was super easy and I like that it works for both app signins as well as web pages. Thx much
