ID Vault Security USB Device

List Price: $49.99 Discount Price: $11.00

Features:

• ID Vault is the only security product available directly to consumers that uses smart card technology. Federal banking regulators recommend smart card technology for two-factor security tokens
• ID Vault is incredibly easy to use. ID Vault plugs into any PC USB port. A single PIN controls access to the sign-in credentials safely stored in ID Vault's secure smart card chip - no need to remember all those usernames and passwords
• GuardID Systems maintains an extensive database of thousands of online financial sites, and updates it daily to insure accuracy. Every time you use your ID Vault to sign-in to a financial site, ID Vaultchecks your sign-in request against our database. This real-time cross-check gives you additional protection against sophisticated pharming and phishing hacker attacks
• You can easily back-up the information stored in your ID Vault. If your ID Vault is stolen, no one can access the information stored in your ID Vault without knowing your PIN

Customer Reviews:

Decided to Return IDGuard [Posted on 2008-01-05]
After reading all the reviews for this product, I will return it to IDVault immediately! Thanks to all the reviewers for saving me money and the hassle of installation. Next time I'll read the reviews before purchase.

Questionable product, RIDICULOUS subscription fee!!! [Posted on 2008-01-07]
I bought this from HSN, and it was a BIG mistake! Waste of money! The device (as it is) works on my WinXP media edition laptop, but the software screwed up my IE7 favorites to the point that they will not load correctly, and other apps as well act buggy with the software. Customer support is NONEXISTENT--I even tried calling the company but never got an answer (DOES ANYBODY WORK AT THE OFFICE, OR ARE THEY ALL OUT TO LUNCH ON THE FEES THEY CHARGE FOR RENEWAL???). Then, adding insult to injury, I found out that the renewal charge is $39.99. I paid $49.99 for the product, so this renewal fee is exhorbitantly high. Nowhere in the HSN presentation OR in the software documentation (again, minimal--and that's an understatement) does it mention the renewal fee. Add to this the fact that if you want to use this "anywhere", as claimed, you must load their software from a CD to use it on any other computer other than your own. Not surpisingly, they recommend you backup--conveniently--to yet another id vault device. I am not buying another USB id vault simply to backup the thing. Finally, there is no way to "erase" your private data--so if you wanted to return it your info is at risk. Waste of time, waste of energy, no support, no customer service, no proper disclosure of renewal (if you don't renew the subscription, the device becomes useless) fees, YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU BUY THIS!!!

Save your time and money! [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Very frustrating. ID Vault did not work at all with one of the banks I use. It also interfered with downloading financial transactions into Quicken. ID Vault customer service was useless. When I reported that I could not download transactions while logged in using ID Vault, the customer service representative responded that " ID VAult does not work with the Quicken browser." When I explained that Quicken is not a browser, they responded that ID Vault does not work with Quicken. I tried it for several months hoping that I would get used to it. Unfortunately, the experience just got worse as I found more and more sites that were not compatible with ID Vault. All in all, this product wasted my time and money. So save yourself the aggravation and avoid this product!

Worst software I have encountered [Posted on 2008-03-06]
I found this product to be the most unreliable and most unstable software I have ever encountered in 15 years of computer use. After 3 weeks of very sporadic operation, the software stopped functioning totally and now will not allow itself to be removed or reinstalled. As has been noted elsewhere in these reviews, a request for technical assistance was met with a generic and non-helpful computer generated response. While I was hopeful that this product would deal with the on-line security issues that we all have concerns about, my experience with this product proved to be very frustrating, time consuming and, ultimately, a waste of money.

Shop Around [Posted on 2008-04-21]
This program is mediocre in comparison with Roboform Pro for the following reasons:
1. You have to pay an annual subscription fee to keep it operational. Wouldn't be worth it if the initial software was FREE.
2. Is not usuable on most public computers as you have to install software to make it run. Most public computers will not allow you to install software, so for those of us who travel to remote locations where we don't always want to lug a laptop, this program is USELESS.

Do a little research, as I have, and you will see that this is not the product to buy. Another benefit to Roboform is that you can use the software for a free trial and if you have less than 10 passwords, there's no need to pay a cent. If you have more than 10 passwords (as I'm sure most of us do), it's a vastly superior product and way less expensive in the long run due to the renewals that you must pay for ID Vault.
