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.

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® 8.0.2 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.

Mac Users Rejoice: You Can Now Cloud Sync eWallet With Mobile Devices

by Alaura

You’ve got a full cup of hot coffee, your Mac is booted up, and the website for the latest awesome software you recently registered for on your smartphone awaits your login information.You’re ready to get started on a crucial project, and time is ticking away.

There’s just one problem: when you originally set up your account, you generated a unique username and random password using your eWallet® password management app on your smartphone.

But now you’re on your Mac.

And you never synced the devices to update your Mac with the new password.

And your smartphone is out of juice.

Are you in a no-win situation? Are you going to have to wait for your smartphone to charge to hunt down your login information? Are you going to have to go through the whole “Forgot my password” song-and-dance? Is your coffee going get (gasp) cold before you can get started on your project?

eWallet Cloud Sync to the Rescue

Not anymore, thanks to the new eWallet 8 for Mac OS X. The latest version of eWallet includes a new feature that allows automatic syncing via the cloud. No more manual syncs, no more lost passwords, no more no-win situations, no more cold coffee.

How it Works

Let’s say you’ve just updated your Facebook password on your phone. The next time you fire up eWallet on your Mac, the program will automatically search for updates stored in your master wallet on iCloud or Dropbox. And BAM: your Mac has that newly created password ready the next time you avoid your work by checking Facebook.

No Internet? No Problem.

Your master wallet stored in the cloud can be shared and synchronized with a compatible version of eWallet on any supported device — and each device gets its own local copy of the wallet, so even if the Internet is unavailable for a while, you still have a copy of all your important information with you.

More Syncing Options

If you’re not into the whole cloud storage thing, no worries: eWallet has other options, including local WiFi sync and folder sync, all conveniently organized in the Sync Manager.

So to sum up:

  • Mac Users now have the option to automatically sync their eWallet information with any other device via the cloud
  • Your sensitive data will always travel with you, thanks to local copies of your wallets in any device with the eWallet app installed
  • You have the option to opt out of Cloud sync using the Sync Manager tool

Alright, now stop browsing the internet and drink your coffee before it gets cold.

eWallet for Mac runs on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, (including Yosemite and El Capitan). This upgrade is free for all users who already purchased a license of eWallet version 7 from Apple’s Mac App Store.
