Forget your user name? Lose your password? Has your computer or online account been hacked? Now, a simple-to-use tool has been developed whereby you will never forget or lose any critical information again and feel comfortable knowing your important data is securely stored from prying eyes. How? Introducing CredLock™, the Credentials Lock vault.

The CredLock program together with its highly encrypted database, has been designed to be used with fixed or removable flash media. Access to your data is protected by a master password; without it, no one can gain access to your CredLock system database. In fact, after a number of unsuccessful password entry attempts you can request that CredLock automatically digitally shred your database file leaving the un-authorized user with zero remnants of your private information. Even scanning the disk using special tools will not yield any useful information.

CredLock's database permits you to store records of various content including internet websites complete with logon credentials, credit card information. We also have a record type that we have named "DigiDex"™ much like the old Rolodex™ system. You can also keep track of personal property and collectibles using our property and miscellaneous record types.

A brief overview of the CredLock record types and features follows, however for a more detailed tutorial on the various record operations and features, the reader is referred to the CredLock Operations Manual.

CredLock Features List

A full-featured demo of CredLock is available for download in the "Downloading the CredLock Demo Program" section. During, or after your demo period, purchase the CredLock full-use license for the nominal fee of $15.00 via our SECURE ORDER FORM.

CredLock Main Screen

The top line of the CredLock main screen permits you to select the type of record category you want to work with. The second line of buttons is associated with connecting to various websites using your User name and/or password. The second line of buttons permits you to Edit/View, create a new record or delete an existing record of the type selected on the first line. The third row of buttons are associated with special operations and license information. The pull-down at the bottom of the window will list the names that you have given to each of the record types you have defined. Once you have selected a record type from the top row of radiobuttons, then selected the specific record from the pull-down list you can then use the desired buttons from the buttons in row 1 or row 2.
 

Internet Record

When connecting to secure websites, the majority of people use simple passwords. This is a hackers dream come true, especially on websites that do not allow you to create a custom user name and simply use your email address. In those cases, half the security to your account just disappeared as a hacker only needs to crack your password. On top of that, using a simple password, even if it is lengthy, is no problem for a hacker to crack. The solution is to utilize a random password generator. However, random passwords, especially those that contain special characters are almost impossible to remember. The problem becomes even greater if you us a different password for every website where you have an account, and we hope you do use different passwords for EVERY website.

The answer lies in CredLock. CredLock not only contains a random password generator, it allows you to paste your user name and password directly to the website logon screen. CredLock's name/password generator is fully configurable both in credential length, the type of characters to use in the credential including special characters and punctuation and whether to allow duplication of characters.

The nature of this type of password generator and the pasting capability will permit you to create extremely secure names and passwords. Should the website in question allow you to create your own user name rather than using your email address, you can use this same password generator to create your user name, making the combination of both entries a truly secure logon.
 

As you can see from the above image, directing you to the right side of the window, are a series of fields whereby you can select the make-up of your user name and/or password (Credentials). Not only can you select what type of characters are contained in your credentials, but the number of each character type simply by entering the desired number of characters in the data field to the left of the character type. Notice the "Avoid Character Duplication" checkbox near the bottom of the record window. By activating this checkbox you are instructing CredLock, when possible given the character types and counts to not duplicate any characters that have been previously placed in the credential.

Now directing you to the left side of the above window, in addition to the User Name/Password generator, are a series of data fields where you can define the website name, path (URL), a site specific credit card number and PIN #. Also, as you know, a number of websites, will ask you to provide the answers to a series of challenge questions that can be used when the website questions the validity of a sign on. The answers that you provide, can be entered into any of the three challenge fields provided.

If you are a believer in changing your credentials on a frequent basis, then you can ask CredLock to advise you after a selectable period of time that you need to modify your credentials. In the lower left-hand corner of the window is a field labeled "Activation Date" which is the date that the record was created and/or modified. To the right of that is the "Alert After" field where you can enter the number of weeks that you wish to retain the existing credential. Setting a '0' into this field turns off the alert for the associated website. If however you enter a number greater than zero, then when that number of weeks has elapsed since the activation date, and you access the website, CredLock will alert you that it is time for you to modify your credentials for this website.

DigiDex™ Record

Credlock's Digidex record is similar to the old style Rolodex™ system but tailored to manage the data associated with today's digital world. The image below depicts the Digidex record. You can list individual names and a single email address or you can list a company and divide its personnel into three groups or departments. This unique feature permits you to send an email to a given set of addresses while omitting others. The system will work with either a standalone email program (Outlook etc.) or a web-based programs such as Roundcube™, SquirrelMail™ or Horde™ among others.
 

Credit Card Record

Credlock's Credit record permits you to keep track of each of your credit card accounds including the card provider and all of the information to the card.
 

Personal Property Record

Filing insurance claims on personal property that has been lost or destroyed in a fire or natural disaster or stolen as a result of a home burglary can be an arduous process as most insurance companies want to see purchase receipts, appraisal documents and pictures. Possession of this supportive documentation can make the claim process and eventual reimbursement much easier on both you and the insurance company; for this purpose CredLock provides a Property Record category.  Here you can list all of the relevant information on any given piece of personal property from an automobile to a pair of earrings. In today's digital world, just about everyone has a camera whether it be a camera alone or as a part of a smart-phone, so taking picture(s) of personal property should not be an issue for most people. Once you have taken that picture you can now associate it with the CredLock property record. If you will, notice the button on the far right of the record labeled "Images" and the small LED to the right of the button. Once you transfer a picture to the image portion of the property record when you retrieve the record from the CredLock database the LED will be green indicating that an image exists. Click the "Image" button and the Image file is displayed complete with any comments. You can add additional images to this file at any time. In fact, for appraised articles such as family heirlooms you can either take pictures of these documents or scan them into the same image file.
 

Miscellaneous Record

The CredLock Miscellaneous Record is used primarily for tracking inventory or keeping track of collectibles. Each record consists of 10 entries each of which can have a unique entry. For example, if you are a coin collector you can create labels like "Pennies", "Nickels", "Dimes", "Quarters", "Half Dollars" and "Dollars". Once those labels have been created using the "Add to PDL" button you can then select that label and in the description field list dates and quantities. In fact you an create a separate record for each coin type by entering that in the "Miscellaneous Category" field at the top of the record. For example you could give a record a miscellaneous category of "Pennies", then select "Pennies" in each of the label fields and list the dates by years and mint markings. There are numerous uses for the Miscellaneous Record and its flexibility permits it to be used for just about any type of inventory or collectible item. You will also notice that as with the Property Record is has the ability to attach an image file to the record. A CredLock image file can contain as many pictures as desired along with explanatory textual content if necessary.
 

CredLock will run under all versions of Windows including Windows WinXP(SP2), Vista-32/64, Win7-32/64, Win8-32/64, and Win10-32/64.

CredLock Demo Period and Product Licensing

CredLock will operate with full functionality for a demo period of 30 days. Each time CredLock is launched you will be advised how many days remain in your demo period. When the 30 day demo period is over, if you have not yet licensed your CredLock product,  a message will be displayed advising that you must purchase the nominally priced ($15) license to continue to use CredLock.  Within that same advisory window will be a series of steps that will outline how to secure-order your CredLock license. Note: If you do exceed the demo period, even though the CredLock program will cease to function, any data records you have entered and images you have stored will be retained and available once your CredLock product has been registered.

CredLock Update Files

CREDLOCK_UDV141EXTMEDIA.EXE                  

CREDLOCK_UDV141PROGFILES.EXE                

CREDLOCK_UDV141PROGFILESX86.EXE          

Operationally, there is no between the update file associated with each of the update buttons. The choice of which file you download only determines where the update files will be stored when the self- extracting file is expanded.

If you are using external media (Flash or Hard Drive), save the "External Media Update" file directly to the media root directory where the CredLock folder is located.

If your CredLock folder is located in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, save the "Program Files (x86) Update" file to the "Downloads" directory of your primary disk drive.

If your CredLock folder is located in the "Program Files" folder, save the "Program Files Update" file to the "Downloads" directory of your primary disk drive.

Once the update file has been downloaded, if CredLock is running, shut it down. Next, locate the update file,  and right-click on the update file name, then left click the "Run as administrator" menu entry, which will display a WinZip extraction window. Click the "Unzip" button to begin the extraction and routing process of the update files to your existing CredLock folder located in the root directory of external media or the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder on your primary hard drive. Files contained in the update packet will automatically overwrite the existing files in your CredLock folder. The update process does not modify your database files in any way.
