Password Manager Data Vault Reviews

by Becis

I changed iphones and after putting everything into new phone I go to DataVault and it promts me for new password, 2 of them. I put my password in and once opened it is just like its brand new. I went to restore and it sauysbmy password is incorrect. I tried a few different ones. Read on site to enter 10 wrong passwords then I would be prompted to do new password. I tried this a few different times and it never promoted me. I have called every number I can find f
or the company, I have emailed to email address it has on its site for support and no one ever acknowledged me. I loved it while I had it but their customer service is horrible. This is a lot of my information why cant they acknowledge me and lead me in correct direction?

DataVault is the absolute best app for securely recording passwords and login credentials and is a must have app. I have a few hundred logins each with their own unique passwords and various usernames. Many sites and services require multiple pieces of information, and in other situations, accounts are associated with collections of important and frequently referenced data such as account numbers, ID’s or dates. PasswordManagerDataVault excels are securely storing this information. It is intuitive and entering information that you need to reference or use is very fast. PasswordManagerDataVault allows you to organise various logins and data in a common sense way. For example I have my banking logins within a banking folder, social media logins in a social media folder and so on. Using DropBox, you have the ability to sync data between Mac, iOS and Windows systems. Aside from storing important need to use data, it also has a password generating function. I have tried all of the other password management apps and DataVault is by far the best, easiest and fastest to use. Although 5 stars is the highest rating, DataVault deserves at least 2 more stars. If you need a password recording and management app, look no further, DataVault is all you need.

I have been using PasswordManagerDataVault for over 3 years now and it is very easy to use. I have set up templates to inventory other items and it customizes easily. It is easy to generate strong passwords using PasswordManagerDataVault. I had a question a few weeks ago and emailed them. To my surprise, Alex replied within a few minutes and answered my question. I do not leave reviews but this type of customer service deserves one since it is so rare these days. Alex said they will be coming out with an update soon that allows for two step authentication. I look forward to seeing that. Thank you Acendo for a great app!

This is my most used app for many years now. It works great. I like that I have complete control over how the password database is stored and backed up, for maximum security. Syncing with the macOS app is a fantastic feature. I keep my passwords synced across 2 computers and my iPhone.

Customer support is fantastic. I had one minor problem with PasswordManagerDataVault so I emailed customer support. The response was super fast and solved the problem.

You can’t have a safe online presence without a good password manager like DataVault. It’s essential for account security.

I’ve been using DataVault for more than 10 years. Has performed quickly and flawlessly with Apple phones and MacBooks and with Samsung phones.
Only issue I’ve ever had was in trying to sync a Samsung phone with the MacBooks using wi-fi immediately after syncing an Apple phone with the MacBooks using wi-fi; in that case the Apple phone seems to hold on to the wi-fi connection until it’s rebooted.
I highly recommend the product. Makes it easy to have and use hundreds of different long and random passwords.

Re-rated 3 to 5 because prior synch issues were resolved. Couldn’t get by without this; it’s one of my most important of many apps. I have no idea how so many people can go on without a password program like this, including my wife.

I really rely on PasswordManagerDataVault for a lot of personal and business things, including LOTS of passwords. I avoid using the same password for everything like a lot of people do. Recommended this to my father in law in his 90’s and he says he couldn’t live without it.
Why 3 stars? It used to synch perfect with Dropbox which to me is vital, but now the PC app which now seems a bit dated BTW, will no longer do this, and yes, everything is updated and all else is working. I tried everything, the PC app keeps saying that I need to log in to Dropbox, but I AM logged in. I logged out, logged in, did everything I could on both the mobile and PC, got nowhere, and did plenty of FAQ reading and Google searching. If there is a way to get this working again, it will be via some extremely non-intuitive weird wormhole, and if that is the case, then PasswordManagerDataVault is at fault for not making this EASY and CLEAR.
If this changes, I will re-review and increase the number of stars.

I’ve has PasswordManagerDataVault for over 10 years and it’s just the best. While it does a great job with passwords, the real power is in its ability to manage anything that’s important to you. Passwords are fine, but how about all the security questions, the backup or recover numbers or a log of what took place. How about a single, secure place for ALL your idevices, or cars, or electronic gear, or passports, etc. it’s all in one secure place, available only to those who need to know. That’s why it’s just the best. Big problem, one easy to use solution.

I’ve used DataVault for a long time thru many revisions. I sync multiple devices so I always have my current version at my fingertips. It allows me to have complex separate passwords for every site. I also keep critical information for cars and appliances. I installed on my wife’s iPhone and can share an encrypted file with her for specific logins. Great product. Wish it would Sync thru Live. I have a mix of Apple and Microsoft Drop box now limits you to 3 devices and iCloud doesn’t appear to support syncing with the Windows machine. It will get there.
Still give it 5 stars.

I have used DataVault since 2010. I have it both on my laptop and on my iPhone. Are use it every day multiple times a day.

It is well designed app and great for recording all kinds of personal information. I have product registration numbers, software, passwords, insurance info, etc. — all stored in one encrypted file. I also use LastPass, but I find that I need DataVault anyway. I like having the information on my own drive.

My policy is not to put the most sensitive information - like bank accounts - in computer files of any sort. However, most other things are safely stored in DataVault and have in my back pocket anywhere I go.

PasswordManagerDataVault is very well designed, easy to use, and it can be customized in lots of different ways. There are multiple ways to sync your files across systems-via dropbox or Wi-Fi etc.

There are very few apps or programs that I’ve had for 10 years. DataVault is a simple tool but one of my favorite.

I’ve been a user for several years. I’m like the security, user interface and overall performance. I travel worldwide and am immediately equipt with every piece of personal data I could ever need to get my hands on. I’ve transitioned to all kinds of new devices and routers. Absolute best thing about HMA is the support team. These folks are prompt (like almost immediate,) helpful, patient and personally accountable. Imagine? With their guidance, I successfully tweaked settings on my router. Piece of cake. Then I received multiple follow up emails to be sure I was up, functioning properly and happy. Hvala to the team!

In addition to login info, I keep serial numbers of art and firearms in case they are stolen or lost in a fire. I put my drivers license info and my plate number plus color, make, and model of the car in case it gets stolen. I put my prescription numbers in there along with contact for my pharmacy. I did have a gps unit stolen from my car and was able to give the serial number to the cop for the report. I had a question about synching with other devices and my customer experience was outstanding. Keep churning out excellence!!!

by Davidani

The most important app I have and it’s used fully for over 6 yrs ! Safely recovered a few broken phones and upgrades easily with cloud backups automatic and dated, multiple back ups and easy to restore or even add to iPad as I do. From license number to CC info, from banking info to every password in your life. I can easily make it about anywhere with just the cloud back up of everything relevant easily accessible and east to keep updated! Well worth the cost and more. I don’t typically bother writing reviews but this one has definitely earned it! Thanks for dependably taking away more worry and stress than most will admit or realize!

I Love PasswordManagerDataVault. I am not computer savvy but I have managed to learn PasswordManagerDataVault without much help. I really liked it when I first got it several years ago. I would use it now & then but not a lot. Fast forward a few years & I was Hacked & it scared me so I started looking for other Password app. I didn’t think I could Sync my Desktop to my I Phone. The other apps were not as easy to learn & didn’t have enough places to store my info in unless you had to pay for extra storage and pretty complicated. So I came back to DataVault & needed to get all the info from my Desktop to my I Phone. I’m so excited I did it thru Dropbox. I love the Icons that DaVault has & the tiered accounts I can create. So far so good. The best Password software out there. Thanks

I’ve had data vault for years. It’s on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. I keep every bit of info I need in it from common web site user/pass to the family list of ssn, drivers license, car vin, frequent flyer accounts and more. My son has data vault password with a tag on every Acct that is critical tagged, “in case of death” making it easy for him to get at all financial info, lawyers info etc.
One really great feature is how quickly and accurately the sync works across all devices. Since this holds all my critical data I tested, over and over, sync and delete and changes to a single word in a login. It’s fast and you do nothing to make it sync. It is used several times a day and I highly recommend it.

by Googull

I have been using this product for many years now with absolute confidence in the sync reliability across my iMac, iPhone, and iPad (using iCloud). My password list has grown over the years to 1237 items! I really appreciate the convenience of face and finger print recognition to expedite access because I use DataVault many times a day. I still recommend it to my friends and family. It doesn’t take folks long to realize how much they need DataVault.

Updated 2021 -after finishing a thorough investigation of other competing products including The top rag recommendations. Datavault lets me synchronize the way I want to. Only over Wi-Fi or to a specific cloud service of my choosing with full encryption. I just can’t find that flexibility in the other offerings. - I am remain convinced there is nothing more flexible AND secure as DATAVault.

I love PasswordManagerDataVault....and I can say that cuz I’ve been using this as my sole password keeper for the last 6 or 7 years. (So long I can’t remember exactly).
It has worked smoothly on each device and through each OS update. I have it on my MacBook Pro and it syncs perfectly every time! (You need to do it manually, but it’s simply a couple clicks of the mouse and you’re done). You can also have a backup generated regularly and stored in the cloud. And there is also printing capability! Which I have only done 1 time, but now I have too many passwords in my list to try and print! The organization is great and is left up to the users preference, which is nice since not all people organize in the same way. You can also have the program generate you a random password.
There are a lot of features packed into this little app, too many to list, so try it for yourself.
Bottom line.....this is the Best password keeper I’ve ever had, and you won’t be sorry!! It the ONLY app I’ve used continually through the years!!!

Of all of the apps that I have on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and my 2020 iPad Pro, and my Apple iMac Pro, DataVault is absolutely THE MOST essential one that I have. Every single app that I have, and that I depend on every day, is protected by a very well thought-out and complex password. And at this point, I literally have hundreds of apps. There would honestly be no way that I could keep track of, or remember even a small fraction of those unique passwords, due to their complexity.

DataVault allows me to securely store ALL of the important information about each one of those apps, not just the passwords for them. I can also keep that information organized into groups and types that make sense to me. And I can access all of that information quickly and easily at any time.

Now I only have to remember one single password, because all of my apps, and their passwords and data, are protected by DataVault and backed up in iCloud, and it even uses my “Face ID”! DataVault is positively my most dependable and reliable app!

I have used Ascendo Datavault for over 7 years for my Windows10 desktop, iPad & iphone all syncing to Dropbox and only once have I had a minor problem. And that was resolved promptly by customer which was very responsive. I’ve tried some of the other popular password managers that have popped up over the last 5 years to see what they offer but I keep coming back to DataVault because of it simplicity usage and powerful capabilities.

Yes its a wonderful password manager BUT it is so much more. I also use it for financial (bank info, credit card info, investments), auto (registration, auto service logging, radio ID’s etc), personal ID’s (passport, license, health, passports, memberships), Inventory across 3 houses for insurance purposes (appliances, TV’s, stereo Equipt, jewelry etc) Travel cards (airlines, auto rental, hotels etc).

PasswordManagerDataVault is indispensable to me and I feel very comfortable with the level of security it provides. Do yourself a favor and get this safe and secure app. You won’t regret it.

by Phonobone

I have used Ascendo DataVault for years now (I am guessing 4-6?). It is a powerful yet not-too-complicated app that gives me peace of mind, knowing that if I ever lose my phone or laptop, I will still be able to recover my passwords. I like the simplicity of syncing my iPhone with my MacBook over the WiFi at my house. I try to do it at least a couple of times a week to keep them current. Doing this, I am able to create very sophisticated and unique passwords for many many uses. It’s great for keeping data on your auto, drivers licenses, passports, etc, too.

I have hardly ever had any issues with PasswordManagerDataVault in all the time I have used it. With a recent update, I began to have an issue copying and pasting the info from PasswordManagerDataVault to the websites. I sent a quick email to support services. We corresponded a couple of times and we tried a couple of solutions, changed a setting and, voila....back to good old reliable. Customer support was outstanding. That’s when I decided it was time to write a review.

Do yourself a favor and get this safe and secure app. It is a workhorse. Well done, Ascendo!

I bought this product years ago. I have everything stored in it, from passport info to passwords for hundreds of sites, to secure info for elderly friends who sometimes need help getting onto their Wi-Fi networks or online accounts. Everything syncs automatically using my free Dropbox account. We sync 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, a Mac & a PC, all flawlessly.

One great feature is the ability to create password records directly from website login screens with one click. This works on Internet Explorer but not from Chrome or Edge browsers, to my knowledge. If I’m not wrong about this, that would be a helpful enhancement.

Bottom Line: Great product with no subscription fee.
