ezVault - (Android) Securely store passwords and other sensitive data and launch directly in app

ezVault on Google Play
ezVault is an application that easily allows you to store username/login, contact and other sensitive data in securely encrypted files ("vaults") on your Android device. Each vault has it's own password and can contain as many entries as you have room to store on your device. It provides the security of AES-256 data encryption without having to encrypt your entire device and the convenience of directly launching the appropriate app with your saved data.
​
See the ezVault Privacy Policy at www.coloradocodeworks.com/PrivacyPolicyEZVault

Easily create, update and use your vaults:
  • Add or delete entries or entry items (menu).
  • Launch the appropriate application for a particular entry item (click on item icon).
  • Updated fields in entries or items (long-click on the field).
  • Search for an entry by name or by text in any field (menu) or by simply scrolling the list.
  • Save your currently open vault, export current vault to text or import to a new vault (menu).

For data entries that have a specific use, ezVault can directly invoke the target application
on your device using your secure data. ezVault recognizes the following types of data:
  • Phone Numbers - can be dialed or to send an SMS (text)
  • Web sites (with optional user/password) - can be launched in a web browser and logged in (coming soon - let us know if you are interested in being a beta tester!)
  • System (with optional user/password) - login information that is not used specifically by an app
  • email - can be used to send an email
  • memo - free-form text that is not used by any particular app
  • address - physical or mailing address that can be used to launch in a map application
Note that ezVault requests the minimum permissions required to operate. The only privileges required by ezVault are:
- "Google Play Billing Service" for user requested purchase of the full version
- "send SMS messages" for sending a text upon user request
- "read the contents of your USB storage" for import of data from a user-specified file
- "modify or delete the contents of your USB storage" to allow user-requested export of ezVault vaults (requires full version)

How to load data your existing data from a text file
In addition to providing for manual entry and management of your secure data, ezVault has an import feature that reads
simple comma or tab delimited text (csv or tsv) files to allow for rapid import of data. A sample approach for preparing an import
file is:
  • Create a spreadsheet in your favorite spreadsheet application (e.g., MicroSoft Excel).  The spreadsheet should contain a single header row, followed by as many data rows as needed.  The header row identifies the contents of each of the columns:
  • Column headers are not case-sensitive.
  • One column must contain "name" - this will be the name for the entry that the remaining columns will be associated with.
  • One column may contain "cat" (category).  This column heading is optional.
  • Any number of the following columns may be repeated:
  • "phone" - column for a phone number that has no associated label (e.g., "Home")
  • "phonenumber" & "phonelabel" & phonenote  & "phoneext" in adjacent columns - for phone numbers with individual labels and/or notes for each number. Label, note and extension are optional.
  • "phone:<label>", e.g., "phone:Home" - column for phone numbers that will each get the label from the header
  • "url" or "web" & "user" & "pass" - web site URL and associated username (optional) and password (optional)
  • "system" or "login" & "user" & "pass" - system name and associated username (optional) and password (optional)
  • "email" - email address, e.g., fred@yahoo.com
  • "address1" & "address2" & "city" & "state" & "county" & "zip" - group of columns for an address.  All columns are optional.
  1. Save your file as a delimited text file (comma - csv, or tab tsv).
  2. If your text contains any "special" characters (such as accented, like é) you will want to make sure the file is in UTF-8 (a character encoding that supports all of the characters you might encounter.  In Windows, open the csv.tsv file in Notepad and then select "Save As...". You can select the "Encoding" type UTF-8 and then Save the file.
  3. Attach your mobile device to your computer as a Storage device and copy the csv/tsv file to your folder named "Documents". If you don't already have a Documents folder you will need to create it either on your sdcard (if your phone has one) or in the actual phone directories that appear when you attach your device to your computer (also know as public folders).
  4. When you launch ezVault you should now see your csv/tsv file in the external folder section. When you click on a csv or tsv file ez Vault imports it into a new encrypted ezVault file.
If you do not see the file you uploaded (step 4), please check:
  • Is the file named correctly? Note that ezVault will only recognize vaults (.ezv) and delimited text files (.csv or .tsv). Other file types are not displayed, so if the file name does not end in .csv or .tsv, it won't show up in the file list until it has been renamed.
  • If the file name is correct, but it still doesn't show up, you can use the navigation capability in the file list to find your file. Android devices have different file structures depending on the vendor, so the exact structure may vary a bit. The lower half of the ezVault startup screen shows files in the directory that the vendor has identified as "external" or "public". If your device has an external SD card installed, you can toggle between the device's public storage and the SD card on the bottom half of the file selection screen by clicking on the "Public" and "SD Card" buttons, respectively. You can go up in the directory structure by clicking on the ".. (parent folder)" button, or down into a subfolder by clicking on a folder in the list (will have a folder icon beside the name).

Note: YOU SHOULD DELETE THE csv/tsv FILE AS SOON AS IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY IMPORTED so as not to leave sensitive data in a readable form on your device.
