eWallet 8.6 update for iOS now available in App Store

July 16, 2021 by Ken

eWallet^® 8.6 for iOS* (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) is now in the App Store. The update adds several user-requested features regarding customizing cards.

What’s New in this version

Added new Standard card style setting on cards to improve how card background images look when used in eWallet on multiple platforms
You can now import pictures directly from Files (in addition to the Camera and Photo Library) when adding card backgrounds or picture cards
eWallet now uses a monospaced, serifed font for hidden fields to better distinguish certain characters
Sensitive information copied to the clipboard is now cleared after a user configurable period of time (iOS 10+)
Improved support for camera permission
Built-in password generator will now create random passwords up to 100 characters
Other miscellaneous fixes and enhancements

Card backgrounds

eWallet makes it easy to add information to its cards and it is only a couple of taps or clicks to change the card background color and icon on the card. Some people go a step further and add custom backgrounds to the card, either as a logo, a way to differentiate the card, or an actual photo of a real card. One of the things that’s traditionally been a bit tricky about backgrounds has been getting them to look the same across eWallet platforms where the screen sizes can be significantly different.

eWallet 8.6 makes this easier with the new Standard card type that scales the background proportionally across device types. For images larger than the card, you can decide if you want the image to scale to fill the card or rather to fit within the card. Along with the background image updates, eWallet also improves handling changing camera permissions and can now also get images from Files directly.

Passwords

Another widely requested feature was to use a font for passwords and other hidden fields that could help distinguish characters that can look alike in other fonts — for example, capital i and lower case L. With eWallet’s AutoPass feature and built-in AutoFill support you often don’t even need to see the password, but in cases where you do, reading the characters should be much easier. Speaking of passwords, eWallet’s built-in password generator can now create random passwords up to 100 characters in length.

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 8.5.5 for Windows PC (desktop) now available

April 9, 2021 by Ken

eWallet^® 8.5.5 for Windows PC is now available.

Building on the 8.5 release, this new version now has better support for users running in a business environment under Microsoft’s Terminal Server. Ever had trouble telling a capital "i" from the number one in your password? Passwords are more legible now with a new font for hidden fields that makes those characters (along with zeros and the letter "O") easier to differentiate. We’ve made pasting cards a bit easier too; you no longer need to select the category icon before pasting a card. While we were at it, we remastered eWallet’s built-in documentation (accessible from the ? icon in eWallet’s upper-right corner), and if you prefer PDF or EPUB, those are available now too.

Let us know if you have any questions and keep the great ideas coming!

eWallet 8.5.5 for Windows PC (desktop) runs on Windows 10 PCs and tablets as a desktop app, Windows 8.1 in Desktop mode, and all versions of Windows 7 (sp1+). This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet for Windows PC (desktop), version 7 or higher; you can download or upgrade to the latest Windows PC version from our site (you do not need new registration codes). If you have version 7.5 or later with automatic updates turned on, you’ll get prompted to update to the latest version (you can press “Check for Updates” in the About screen too). Get all the info about eWallet for Windows PC (desktop), including access to a 30-day trial version, here on our site.

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.

eWallet 8.5 Update featuring AutoFill and Dark Mode now in iOS App Store

April 30, 2020 by Ken

eWallet^® 8.5 for iOS* (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) is now in the App Store. The update significantly enhances AutoFill and adds support for Dark Mode in iOS 13.

AutoFill

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 was enhanced to also work with the AutoFill feature that was introduced with iOS 12. Now this new update takes auto-filling of usernames and passwords even further, adding QuickType bar support, improved domain matching, and search. Tap in a username or password field in Safari or any other app, any you’ll be presented with credentials right above the keyboard; tap the credentials and voilà! We’ve got full instructions in our support area if you would like more detailed information.

Dark Mode

The release of iOS 13 brought Dark Mode to iPhones and iPads, where “the system uses a darker color palette for all screens, views, menus, and controls, and it uses more vibrancy to make foreground content stand out against the darker backgrounds.” As we did with Dark Mode in eWallet for macOS , we went through every panel in eWallet for iOS and made the appropriate adjustments, so they look great in both Light and Dark appearances.

As usual, we had a hard-working group of beta testers for the 8.5 release; we made significant changes during this beta as a direct result of feedback from the group. 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 iOS runs on iOS 8 and up, including iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. 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, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The latest version is available via the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for iOS here on our site.

Organize your information!

April 7, 2020 by Lee

While some of us continue to work remotely, some of you are enjoying an extended, albeit involuntary, “stay-cation”. Now that you’ve rearranged the garage, organized all of the cupboards and closets, and done an amazing spring cleaning, what’s left to do?

Organize your important information!

Have you been meaning to update that favorite password you use to log into ALL of your websites? By storing your logins in eWallet, you have a single password to open your wallet, but now you can up your security game by having a unique password for each login! (Hint, eWallet can create those passwords for you too.)

Where do you keep track of your credit card information? Do you know the numbers to call if you lose the cards? How about your doctor’s phone number, and your health insurance numbers? Have those on hand? Life insurance? Car insurance?

You can even keep track of your kids’ information and passwords in a category all its own, so you always know the answer to: “What’s my Minecraft password?”

Now is the perfect time to gather up that information, and store it securely. Right where you know to look for it! And if you have an Android or iOS device, you can safely carry that data with you, so you always have it at your fingertips.

If you’d like a jump start on using eWallet, take a look at the brief step-by-step articles in our tutorials.

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

From all of us at Ilium Software, we hope you, your family, and your friends are safe and healthy.
