eWallet 8.6 for Android now available!

May 6, 2021 by Ken

We’re pleased to announce that we just released eWallet® 8.6 for Android with several new features and it is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores. The new release is built to take advantage of Android 11, has improved biometric authentication prompting, and improved clearing of the clipboard across different device types. We added a new font for better password legibility in hidden fields, for those cases where you need to read the password. We also added a popular request: allowing the creation of no-password wallets for those cases where you want to organize information but not password protect it.

I should also mention that today is World Password Day — see our article on passwords, biometrics and backups.

eWallet 8.6 for Android runs on Android OS 5.0 to 11.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. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version. Get all the info about eWallet here on our site. And if you have any questions or suggestions, please do contact us!

eWallet 8.5 for Android update featuring Face Unlock available

March 19, 2020 by Ken

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!

Customer Service – Question of the Day

February 14, 2020 by Lee

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!

eWallet 8.3 Update featuring new wallet format

December 6, 2016 by Ken

eWallet

eWallet^® 8.3 with a new improved wallet format is now available on Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch), Mac, and Windows PC (desktop).

“New wallet format? Well that doesn’t sound very exciting…” If you’re thinking that we wouldn’t blame you bit! But it turns out the format is really important as part of the behind-the-scenes storage, organizing, and protecting of your personal and business information.

digital security

So what changed? The new wallet format has improved security, better support for international characters in category names, and we’ve bumped up some of the limits so you can now have larger wallets and more content, such as images and other attachments in your wallets. eWallet will upgrade to the new format automatically when you open your wallet, so there’s nothing special you need to do on your end. Since the wallet format has changed, it’s best if you’re running the new version everywhere, so you’ll want to make sure you upgrade all your devices, PCs, and Macs to take advantage of the changes and for the best sync experience.

We did several other things in each of the releases as well. As just a few examples, the Mac version now lets you initiate a call from Skype or a connected iPhone and has support for IPv6 networks, the PC and Android versions have additional information on the opened wallet, the iOS version has a faster live search, and all the platforms have fixes and enhancements for issues that might not have affected everyone, but we wanted to get them cleaned up.

We get such great feedback from our users — please keep it coming and contact us any time you like.

eWallet 8.3 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 7 including both phones and tablets. Use of the fingerprint scanner requires Android 6 or higher on compatible devices. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version.
