Many years ago, I used LastPass because it was the most convenient way to store and recall my passwords. After they had a data breach 
, I had a change of heart and switched to an ancient method of password management: a physical notebook. A person would have to break into my house to gain access to my passwords.
The advantage of the notebook method was that my passwords were stored offline. The problem? I had to carry a notebook around if I thought I would need to log into something. Another issue: should someone get their hands on that notebook, there was nothing stopping them from gaining access to all my passwords.
Enter VaultR: a creation that bridges the gap between security and convenience. Here are the main advantages of this creation:
- The R1 isn’t Connected to Your Accounts - You could use an app on your phone or computer to store passwords, but you probably also log into accounts on those devices. The R1 is a seperate device, not connected to your accounts.
- It’s Offline - VaultR stores your passwords on the R1 device, not in the rabbithole or in any other web-accessible database.
- It Requires a PIN - In order to see any of your stored passwords, you must enter a PIN. This way, if someone steals your R1, your passwords are still safe.
- It Includes a Password Generator - Should you need to create a new password, a tool is included that allows you to set the parameters a password (length, symbols, numbers, etc), and save it as a new entry.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
One quick suggestion: make sure you have your passwords backed up somewhere in the event that something happens to your R1.
