eWallet 8.5 Update featuring Apple Silicon and Big Sur support now in Mac App Store

December 8, 2020 by Ken

eWallet® 8.5 for macOS is now in the Mac App Store. The update adds support for Apple’s new Apple silicon chip as well as the recently released Big Sur version of macOS.

New from Apple

There’s been a lot going on at Apple with Macs, not the least of which is transitioning from Intel-based chipsets to their own Apple silicon. Apple also released macOS Big Sur with a refreshed and redesigned interface. eWallet for macOS will run natively on both Intel-based and Apple silicon-based Macs, and has been refreshed as well for Big Sur.

Touch ID

eWallet users on iPhones and iPads have told us they really like the convenience of unlocking their wallet using biometrics, so this new release includes full support for Touch ID on compatible Macs running Catalina or later. Like with eWallet on mobile devices, users have complete control over enabling Touch ID on a wallet-by-wallet basis.

Many other enhancements

In addition to supporting the new hardware and new version of macOS, we also added lots of tweaks to eWallet like fully supporting tabbed windows, a new font to make passwords more legible, dynamic link color on cards, along with many other enhancements. We now even include a What’s New feature that will show you what has changed in the latest release. Perhaps most noticeable on MacBook Pros is the new support for the Touch Bar, providing a handy way to access a feature while keeping your hands on the keyboard. And like the Toolbar, the Touch Bar is customizable, letting you change which icons are visible as well as their order.

All the basics are still there too including being able to sync with eWallet on your iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, and even other Macs and Windows PCs.

About this release

eWallet 8.5 for macOS runs on macOS 10.13 or later, (includes High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur). This update is free for all users who already purchased a license for eWallet version 7 or 8 from Apple’s Mac App Store. Get all the info about eWallet (including access to a 30-day trial version) here on our site.

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!

Customer Service – Question of the Day

November 13, 2019 by Lee

Hi!

My name’s Lee, and if you have contacted our Support department here at Ilium Software any time in the last decade and a half, you may have heard back from me. I’m still here because good companies are hard to find, and I love working here!

You may not see us posting a ton online as we tend to focus on the products (there’s always new versions in the works!) and our customers; in fact, I spend most of my time answering questions about our software.

With all that in mind, I would like to post “the question of the day” here occasionally. Maybe it will help someone out that thinks it might be a waste of time to contact us directly (it’s not, by the way!). Or maybe just for fun. Let us know what you think!

Since I didn’t see a common theme in our emails today, I’m going to write about a cool tip for iOS apps that a few eWallet for iOS users ran into. Recently, there was some sort of isolated hiccup with Apple’s Family Sharing in iOS 13 where an app licensed under the Family Sharing plan sometimes wouldn’t start up, and a user gave us a heads-up on a very easy fix.

Did you know you can “Offload” and then “Re-install” an iOS app and still have your data? Doing this re-install resolves the licensing glitch with the App Store and the app will then start up just fine. There are Very Specific Steps for this, so don’t just randomly remove apps from your device! See the steps below.

To “Offload” an app from your iOS device, and reload without losing your data:

  1. Backup your device (always good practice)
  2. Go to the device Settings app → General → [device] Storage → (iOS app)
  3. Tap “Offload App” and confirm
  4. Tap “Reinstall App”

That’s all for today! Talk to you again soon!

eWallet 8.4 Update featuring Dark Mode in Mac App Store

November 20, 2018 by Ken

eWallet Logo

eWallet® 8.4 for macOS is now in the Mac App Store. The new version has a focus on macOS Mojave (10.14) but includes plenty of improvements for Sierra and High Sierra users as well.

One of Apple’s goals with Dark Mode in macOS Mojave was to provide a “distraction-free working environment” and eWallet fully supports that. We went through every window and panel in eWallet and made the appropriate adjustments so they look great in both Light and Dark appearances.

And we added several other features as well across all three macOS versions, based on user requests. eWallet has long had the ability to print out a selection or an entire wallet but now the containing category name is included as part of that output. Create a new card and we now automatically give it a default title, to save a bit of typing. We enhanced the inactivity wallet lock as well so even if you left your card in the middle of editing, even the selected field will be saved. We also updated the Dropbox library to the latest version and switched over to using the default browser for the initial Dropbox login credentials.

eWallet 8.4 for macOS runs on macOS 10.12 or later, (includes Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave). This update is free for all users who already purchased a license for eWallet version 7 or 8 from Apple’s Mac App Store. Get all the info about eWallet (including access to a 30-day trial version) here on our site.

As always, please keep the great feedback coming! And thank you to our Mojave beta team, who helped us identify issues and resolve them on macOS Mojave.

eWallet 8.4 Update featuring AutoFill in iOS App Store

October 30, 2018 by Ken

eWallet logoeWallet® 8.4 for iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) is now in the App Store. The updated app not only supports the new iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max devices, but also features support for AutoFill in iOS 12.

eWallet’s AutoPass feature has long allowed users to click on a URL in their wallet and have the username and password filled in on the website, all displayed directly within eWallet. In eWallet 8.4, AutoPass has been enhanced to also work with the new AutoFill functionality that is part of iOS 12.

Tap in a password field in Safari or any other app, and AutoFill on the device works with eWallet to fill in the appropriate login information. And like with using eWallet directly, when prompted for your wallet password you can type it in, use Touch ID, or use Face ID, as appropriate for your device.

Our customers have long told us that AutoPass is one of their favorite features in eWallet — and now with AutoFill we think that feature is even more useful.

eWallet 8.4 for iOS runs on iOS 8 and up, including iOS 12. eWallet is optimized for iPad Air and iPad Pro, iPhone 5, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max. The latest version is available via the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for iOS here on our site.

Thank you for using eWallet, and please keep the great feedback coming! A big thank you to our eWallet AutoFill beta team, who helped us test the AutoFill feature and gave us outstanding feedback for this version and versions going forward.
