eWallet now syncs via Google Drive and OneDrive

June 16, 2023 by Ken

Cloud image

Cloud options

eWallet® offers multiple options to sync your data securely across devices and computers. In the past, if you choose to sync via the cloud, you were limited to either Apple’s iCloud (for an all Apple scenario) or Dropbox. eWallet 8.11 now offers two major new options for cloud services: Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. Configure eWallet once and then sync is pretty much automatic going forward.

As with iCloud and Dropbox, everything is included with eWallet so there is no requirement to install Google Drive or OneDrive software. See our Sync information by platform article for a complete list of sync options.

More password generation options

Previous versions of the password generator would treat the selected Allowed Characters, A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc., as potential candidates for a password but wouldn’t require them. With the previous versions it was possible, due to randomness, to generate a password that didn’t include a number, even though numbers were selected. Now when you select no memory aid and a password length of at least 8, your password will include at least one of each of the characters in the Allowed Characters you selected.

With features like AutoPass and the ability to copy/paste, you don’t often need to see your passwords to use them. In the cases where you do need to read your password, even with a good font certain characters can be hard to distinguish from each other (think zero and the letter O). If you find particular characters hard to distinguish (e.g., the number one from a lowercase L), then you can exclude those characters from the pool of Allowed Characters.

eWallet updates featuring thousands of card icons now available

May 19, 2022 by Ken

The latest eWallet® updates, with support for thousands of card icons are now available on Android, iPhone and iPad, Mac, and Windows PC (see below for platform details).

Emoji image

We want more card icons!

eWallet users have told us they really like to customize the look of their cards, and one way to easily do that is with the icon that can be displayed in the card’s corner. This same icon shows up in your list of cards and categories too, making spotting your card quick work. eWallet has more nearly 50 built-in icons to choose from but sometimes that’s simply not enough. Then we thought, what about using Emoji as icons? There are thousands of them on almost every platform; many more in addition to the smileys we usually think of. People, Animals, Food, Travel, Activities/Sports and so many more. There are over 3,000 emoji you can choose from to customize your cards. You can even search to find the emoji that best fits your particular card and eWallet will size it and place it, just like the built-in icons.

Small, fast, lean

One of the really nice advantages of using Emoji as card icons is that they are already on your device or computer, so your wallet doesn’t get large with tons of extra graphics and the eWallet app stays lean and mean too. For even further customization, change the card and text color, or add a full-card background graphic (Unsplash has some really nice images).

So what else do the releases have? Well each release also got a platform-specific list of enhancements and fixes to better support the latest versions of their host OS and respond to some popular requests. For example, eWallet for Android has additional support for Android OS 12, new export options and an update to the Wallet Info panel, to name just a few.

New version supports biometric authentication

We’ve received quite a few requests (especially from Pixel 4 users) to support Android’s Face Unlock feature. So we’re very pleased to announce that eWallet® 8.5 for Android OS with Face Unlock is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores. The new release incorporates Android’s biometric authentication feature, which replaces the fingerprint-only feature with fingerprint, iris scan, facial recognition, or something similar, depending on the device being used. Just tap on the Face Unlock (or related) icon and you’ll get the appropriate system prompt. As always, you decide if you want to use biometric authentication, like Face Unlock, with your wallet.

Once again we had an outstanding group of beta testers for the 8.5 release, making sure that the new biometric authentication was working as intended. If you have interest in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.5 for Android runs on Android OS 5.0 to 10.x including both phones and tablets. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 for Android.

Customer Service – Question of the Day

February 14, 2020 by Lee

question of the day image

Hi!

I’m back with another post for the Question of the Day. Today’s question is, “How do I move eWallet to my newly upgraded phone or tablet?” We get this question a lot from people who upgrade within the same platform. (As a side note, switching between platforms, e.g., Android to iPhone or vice versa, is not that different, you just need to work with a different app store).

Probably the easiest way is to backup your entire device and then restore it to your new phone, that way all your apps and data will be on your new device and ready to go. If you haven’t done that, then you simply need to re-install eWallet and copy your wallet(s) to your upgraded device.

If you have a new mobile device (same platform), you can log back into the app store you purchased eWallet from, go to your Purchased apps list in the app store, and click the icon next to eWallet to redownload. You’ll get the latest version of eWallet for that device!

To get you wallet file(s) on your new device, that’s easy too. It’s always good to have a backup, so start eWallet on your old device, tap More (three dots) then Email Backup or Share/Backup Wallet File to send yourself a copy of your encrypted wallet file. You can open that copy on your new device, or if you’ve been syncing to the cloud or a PC/Mac, simply sync your wallet over to your new device instead.

As always, if you get stuck, need more details, or have a question, please contact us!
