AutoPass 3.1 now available

eWallet AutoPass

eWallet’s built-in AutoPass feature for filling in a username and password is upgraded to version 3.1 for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari, handling many more login web pages than the previous version.

If you’re using eWallet on your Windows PC or Mac, then you know you could just copy/paste your username and password from an eWallet card to your web page — but why do that when AutoPass will fill in the fields for you automatically. If you haven’t used AutoPass before, it’s easy — the first time you click on a URL in an eWallet card, you’ll be prompted to install a small extension for your browser — from then on for most sites just clicking on the URL will take you to your web page and automatically fill in those fields for you.

login form

So what’s new in AutoPass 3.1? AutoPass will now handle many more types of login pages than the previous version, including two-page logins. It will also honor autocomplete hints and has an improved method of selecting the fields to be filled in. If you have questions or suggestions about AutoPass, please do reach out to us.

AutoPass 3.1 is available as a free extension to licensed users of eWallet for Windows PC (desktop) and eWallet for macOS using Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge on Windows and Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on Mac. Normally the browser will automatically upgrade your AutoPass extension but if you have an older version, you should be able to upgrade it within your browser’s extension page.

eWallet and ListPro support iPhone X

We still get a few prospective eWallet® and ListPro® users asking if the apps support the iPhone X — well, yes they do!

eWallet and ListPro screenshots

ListPro & eWallet on iPhone X

Although the iPhone X is similar in physical size to the iPhone 8, it actually has more pixels and a higher pixel density than the physically larger iPhone 8 Plus. The iPhone X also has the interesting notch at the top of the screen and of course, no home button. In addition to completely supporting this new high resolution iPhone X screen, eWallet also supports Apple’s Face ID technology allowing you to (optionally) unlock your wallets in the same way you unlock your phone.

Have other questions about eWallet or ListPro on the iPhone X — feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to answer them.

eWallet 8.3 for iOS runs on iOS 8, iOS 9, iOS 10, and iOS 11 and is optimized for iPad Air and iPad Pro, iPhone 5, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X. The latest version is available via the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for iOS here on our site.

ListPro 5.2 for iPhone runs on iOS 8, iOS 9, iOS 10 and iOS 11 and is optimized for iPhone 5, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, and 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X. The latest version is available via the on-device App Store. Get all the info about ListPro for iPhone here on our site.

eWallet 8.4 for Windows PC (desktop) now available

eWallet

We are very pleased to announce that eWallet® 8.4 for Windows PC (desktop) is now available. This new version includes the following improvements:

  • AutoPass now supports the Microsoft Edge browser
  • eWallet now launches newer versions of Firefox using the new registration method
  • We updated the AutoPass extension for Firefox (packaged and delivered separately) for Mozilla’s completely new extension system
  • Updated the Dropbox library code used by SyncPro®
  • Now include an alternative login method for Dropbox for cloud sync
  • Updated link color on cards with very dark background
  • If Microsoft’s .NET 4 is not installed, eWallet will offer to install .NET 4.7
  • Updated installer for high resolution screens
  • Several other miscellaneous fixes and enhancements

As you can see from the list of features, AutoPass got a lot of attention in this release, including support for the Microsoft Edge browser. Although we received lots of requests to support Edge, it wasn’t possible initially as the browser itself didn’t support any kind of extensions. Fortunately Microsoft changed that and were very helpful in getting our new extension through the approval process.

Mozilla also changed how Firefox registered itself with Windows and switched to a new system for their extensions and eWallet (and the companion AutoPass extension for Firefox) have been updated to fully support the changes. Stay tuned for more updates to all of the AutoPass extensions (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari).

The release has several other improvements too, almost all of them based on user requests and feedback. Please keep the feedback coming and contact us any time you like.

eWallet 8.4 for Windows PC (desktop) runs on Windows 10 PCs and tablets as a desktop app, Windows 8 and 8.1 in Desktop mode, and all versions of Windows 7. 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 8.3 Update featuring new wallet format

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 Logo

eWallet® 8.0.2 for macOS is now in the Mac App Store. This small update includes some fixes as well as additional support for macOS Sierra. We fixed an issue when syncing via iCloud and the home folder is not on the boot volume — not a very common situation but we didn’t want it to slow anyone down. We also fixed an issue specific to the new Sierra version of macOS that affected some people who using non-English characters in their category names.

World Password Day

Did you know it’s World Password Day today? …In addition to Cinco de Mayo of course!

passwords

We often get asked for advice on passwords, so here’s some best practices that can help:

  1. Create strong passwords or passphrases (at least 12 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation — it should not be something easy to guess or unaltered from a dictionary.
  2. Use a different password for each account (easy with eWallet’s built-in password generator)
  3. Use a password manager — eWallet of course!
  4. Use multi-factor authentication with accounts that support it (and eWallet can store extra factor info too)

eWallet’s built-in password generator can help you generate random, long, complicated passwords for all your accounts, and of course it stores them for you so you don’t have too. And with eWallet’s built-in SyncPro engine, you can sync your digital eWallet files between your devices and computers using the cloud or a local WiFi network. And since eWallet is available on Android, iPhone/iPad, Mac and Windows, we should have you covered.

eWallet 8.2.1 update for Windows PC (desktop) now available

eWallet

Just a quick note to let you know that the eWallet® 8.2.1 update for Windows PC (desktop) is now available.

We heard back from some of you after the recent 8.2 release about a couple of issues that although perhaps minor, we wanted to get fixed up right away. This included fixing the menu case on the new Office 2016 ribbon style as well as fixing a couple of window related issues. Our installer was updated at the same time and is now digitally signed (as is eWallet itself) using Microsoft’s new Authenticode standards. The complete list of changes is:

  • Office 2016 ribbon style corrected to use mixed case for menus
  • Authenticode digital signatures updated to Microsoft’s new SHA-256 standards
  • Updated SyncPro sync engine to fix sync via SFTP issue
  • Updated to internationalized installer
  • Installer now sets DPI property for eWallet on Windows 7
  • Fixed issue where maximized window could not be moved

If you ever run into an issue, or want to suggest a new feature, please contact us.

eWallet 8.2.1 for Windows PC (desktop) runs on Windows 10 PCs and tablets as a desktop app, Windows 8 and 8.1 in Desktop mode, and all versions of Windows 7. 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).

eWallet 8.2 for Android update includes fingerprint support

eWallet for Android logo

We’re very pleased to announce that eWallet® 8.2 for Android OS is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores. The new release includes fingerprint support for entering passwords, copy/pasting of cards within and between wallets, and the ability to rename and change the type of your card fields.

eWallet 8.2 for Android lock screen

Some Android devices have had fingerprint scanners for a while now, but until Android OS 6 (Marshmallow), the scanners were supported by the device manufacturers rather than Android itself. We heard from many users (loud and clear!) that they really like the convenience of the fingerprint scanner, and now that Android 6 supports it, so does eWallet. And you can decide on a wallet-by-wallet basis if you want to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock your wallet or not.

 

Many of you also sync with the PC or Mac version of eWallet where it’s very convenient to move cards around between categories. As we all use our mobile devices for more and more in our daily lives though, it’s handy to be able to reorganize a bit by copy/pasting your eWallet cards right on your Android device.

Finally, many of you requested that we allow changing the field names directly in the Android version, for example, changing a label like User Name to Email. You can change the type of the field too, so if you want to have an extra password on your card and make that field hidden, now you can. Oh, and one more thing: the new version should be much better about opening the last wallet you used, so when you start eWallet, you’ll be right at the lock screen rather than your list of wallets.

I know I’ve said this before, but we are truly fortunate to get so much great real-world help with beta testing. We again had an excellent beta team for the 8.2 release and their feedback helped immensely. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.2 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 6.0 including both phones and tablets. Use of the fingerprint scanner requires Android 6 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.
