SplashID Safe provides quick and easy access to all of your personal
identification information, including usernames, passwords, credit
cards, PINs, calling card numbers, frequent flyer numbers, insurance
info and more. Data is stored in a secure, encrypted, password protected
format and can be synchronized between SplashID on your handheld and
SplashID on the desktop (Windows and Mac). You may prefer to do most
of your data entry in SplashID Desktop, however, since it's faster
and easier with a keyboard, and then synchronize the data with your

When you login to SplashID you are presented first with the List View.
You can filter by
the Filter By menus. In the filter selection screen, you will see a
list of your Categories or Types and how many records belong to each.
Filter Options

by Category, such as Business or Personal. You can select All
Categories at the top to apply no filter, but you may restrict
the list to only display items assigned to a specific Category.
Types -- Select a Type to filter the view by record
type, such as Credit Cards or Web Logins. You can select All
Types at the top to apply no filter, but you may restrict the
list to only display items assigned to a specific Type.
You can also use the alphabetic jump bar on the right to either
jump to a particular letter in your list of records or tap and
scroll to quickly scroll through the alphabet.
Several buttons appear at the bottom of the List View screen:

Some things to note about the Record Info screen:
It is a read-only display. If you wish to edit the record,

into the appropriate fields if possible, and it is also displayed
at the top of the screen for reference.

Edit Categories
Edit Types
Define Type
Note: Only Categories and Types that contain
records are displayed. So if you create a new Category/Type,
it will not show up in the filter list until you create a new
record and select the new Category/Type, and save the record.
The difference between Categories and Types is best illustrated
by example. You may use Categories to separate your Business
records from your Personal records, while you use Types to
separate your Credit Card records from your Web Login records.
SplashID uses a &drill-down& system of displaying
your data. You drill down first through Categories, then Types,
then open a record to view its details.
Another way of looking at the Category/Type distinction is
by simile -- Your SplashID data is in a locked filing cabinet.
Each Category is a drawer, and each Type is a folder. Unlike
real world files, however, you can view all the records at
once if you wish, as if you emptied all folders and drawers
on the table and neatly laid them out for simultaneous viewing.
Categories act as filters for grouping related records. The
two pre-defined Categories are Business and Personal, though
you may add more by choosing Edit Categories from the Category
Types act as templates, which define the structure for the
items you want to store in SplashID. You may define up to 9
Custom field labels and a default icon for each type, as well
as specify the fields you wish to mask. For example, you may
create a type for Web Logins, which includes Custom field labels
for username, password and URL, with a globe icon, and the
p and you may create a Type for Credit
Cards which includes Custom field labels for credit card number,
expiration date and PIN, with a Visa icon, and the credit card
number and PIN masked.
Edit Types -- Select Edit Types from the
to display the Edit Types dialog. You may create an unlimited
number of Types. Several sample Types are provided, which
you may edit or delete. Tap an existing type to edit, or
tap New to create a new one. The Define type dialog is displayed.
Define Type -- Enter a name for the Type and up
to 9 Custom field labels. The Mask switch specifies whether
or not the data in that field will be masked. And you may
also specify a default icon for the Type.
Custom Field Labels
Field Labels and masking are set by default when
you define a . You may change
Field Labels and masking, however, at the record level
in the Edit Field dialog.
Fields that are Masked appear as six stars - .
You may show or hide the masked data by tapping the stars themselves.
If you wish to permanently
mask or unmask a field, you can change its mask setting in the

but keep in mind that these are generally strong passwords and
difficult to remember.
Note: You must manually set the
same SplashID password on the handheld and the desktop,
if you wish to synchronize between the two.
Setting a Pattern -- A more fun and convenient way to login is
using a pattern. To set a pattern, tap the Pattern button in the
Set Password dialog. Then draw your pattern using the numbered dots
supplied (no overlapping or repeating). Tap Continue and confirm
the pattern, then make a note of the numeric equivalent - this must
match the SplashID desktop if you plan on synchronizing. In version
6 of SplashID desktop, you can use a pattern to login as well.
Entering a Password -- You will be required to enter your
password each time you launch SplashID, or when you turn on your
handheld if SplashID was last running when it was turned off.
Changing a Password -- To change a password, select Set
Password from the Tools menu, enter your Old Password, then enter
and confirm the New Password.

can find this IP address in the SplashID Desktop under Options/Preferences
Creating an Ad Hoc Network
If you have trouble connecting your handheld and desktop SplashID,
or if you want to make your sync connection with the handheld more
private, you can set up an Ad hoc network (aka Computer-to-Computer
network), and then perform your sync with both devices on that network.
Here's how:
Click the Airport icon in the menu bar, and select Create Network.

In the event of a failure, this data can be restored via the Restore
option in iTunes sync.
The other better option to backup your iPhone SplashID data is to sync

趁早换了你的“123456”密码 这是被全球用户最多使用的密码之一
　　在2014年，大事件之一就是苹果艳照门。据称此次有数十位好莱坞女星的艳照遭到外泄，其中包括詹妮弗&劳伦斯（Jennifer Lawrence），克尔斯滕&邓斯特（Kirsten Dunst）和凯特&厄普顿（Kate Upton）等知名女星。虽然苹果随后就此事进行了紧急调查，但其在声明中并未谈及过多关于iCloud服务遭到攻击的信息，只是表示&某些名人的苹果账号受到了针对性攻击，攻击范围包括用户名，密码等方面，这种类似的攻击在互联网中十分普遍&，而苹果官方曾经说，都怪用户密码太好猜。现在最好猜的用户密码榜单已经新鲜出炉。你中枪了吗？
　　北京时间1月21日早间消息，SplashData整理的一份2014年泄露密码的清单显示，2014年全球用户使用最多的密码之一是&123456&。尽管目前已有1Password和LastPass等应用帮助用户管理多个密码，但许多人仍使用易被猜测的字符和数字来保护敏感信息。
　　根据SplashData得到的数据，除&123456&之外，被使用第二多的密码是&password&，以及&12345&、&&和&qwerty&。过去几年，&123456&和&password&都排在最常见密码的前列，而2013年也排名前两位。
　　2014年最常见密码的第6和第7名同样是类似的数字串，而随后分别为&baseball&、&football&和&dragon&。
　　SplashData CEO摩根&斯莱恩(Morgan Slain)表示：&尽管强度很差，但基于键盘上简单模式的密码仍非常流行。任何仅使用数字的密码都应当被避免，尤其是连续数字。随着更多要求用户使用强度更高的密码，或者说字母与数字的组合，更长的键盘模式正在成为常见密码，而这样的密码同样不安全。&
　　SplashData已连续第四年关注全球用户使用密码的情况。2014年，该公司收集了超过330万个泄露的密码。这些密码主要来自北美和西欧的用户。
　　基于收集到的数据，SplashData不建议用户使用常见的键盘序列，例如&1qaz2wsx&或&qwertyuiop&，此外也不要使用常见的运动名称。&baseball&(棒球)和&football&(橄榄球)出现在2014年前10大最常见密码中，而&hockey&(冰球)、&soccer&(足球)和&golfer&(高尔夫)也出现在前百大常见密码中。一些明星球队的名称，例如&Yankees&(扬基)、&Eagles&(海鹰)、&Steelers&(钢人)、&Rangers&(游骑兵)和&Lakers&(湖人)，也出现在前百大密码中。
　　SplashData也不推荐用户使用生日、生日年份和姓名来作为密码。在前50大密码中，&Michael&(迈克尔)、&Jennifer&(珍妮佛)、&Thomas&(托马斯)和&Jordan&(乔丹)等欧美常用名赫然在列。除此之外，在前百大密码中，其他常见密码还包括粗口、成语、兴趣爱好、运动员姓名、汽车品牌和电影名称等。
　　SplashData建议用户使用密码管理应用，例如SplashID、1Password和LastPass。这些应用可以生成随机密码，相对于用户自己设计的密码要更加安全。
　　2013年至2014年，大量的数据泄露事故已促使更多用户选择强度更高的密码。
