eWallet 8.3 Update featuring new wallet format

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.

World Password Day

by Ken

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.

  • 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.
