GuardID Systems ID Vault USB Security Device

The ID Vault from Guard ID Systems works as a personal digital safe to store your most important online information: your usernames and passwords. ID Vault is a USB security token with an embedded smart card chip. To access your financial accounts with ID Vault you need two-factors; you need your ID Vault PIN (something you know), and you need your ID Vault itself (something you have). If your ID Vault is stolen then it cannot be used without your PIN. If your ID Vault PIN is stolen, then it cannot be used without having your ID Vault. Furthermore, ID Vault works with virtually all financial institutions, one device gives you secure access to all your accounts (you don't want a separate security token for each of your online accounts!). With ID Vault, you can take control of your online security.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Days

  Strengths: Feature set makes sense for people with lots of accounts and different passwords. Convenient.

  Weaknesses:Kludgy for laptop users - software won't let you undock from docking station while Vault is plugged in. UI has a couple of kinks. Seems to be no way to change default browser - it forces you into using Internet Explorer.

  Overall Evaluation: This was a gift. If I had known all about it beforehand, I would have returned it unopened.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Whats great for several days in both my Acer Ferrari Laptop and my Sony Vaio desktop but only for 3 days and then stops working , ie, it fails to be recognized as being plugged in.

  Weaknesses:Works for several days and then fails to work. They offer a refund if dissatisfied, however, after putting in almost all of my financial information, how could anyone in their right mind send it back for refund still containing this information.

  Overall Evaluation: NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME. SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED WITH THESE BUGS!!!!I have bought 5 ID Vaults and will be returning the three that have not been opened.I have not received any response to my email questions, (1) is this product fixable; and (2) if not how do I get my financial information out of your product so that I can return for my refund? NO RESPONSE-cancelled credit card payment!

  Duration of ownership: 60 Days

  Strengths: NONE

  Weaknesses:You actually have to pay an ANNUAL fee to keep using a device that you already paid for. Where was that in the advertisements or product description?

  Overall Evaluation: This piece of junk did not even work right with Citibank. Come on, seriously. That is one of the largest banks. If it does not work right with their website then what is it going to work on? The box says "60 day money back guarantee" but you are out of luck on that for sure. It took me 3 weeks to get someone to even respond about an RMA. Then, they actually gave me a BAD address. UPS attempted to get a correct package from them and got no response either and had to return my package. I have contacted them multiple times now with NO RESPONSE. Save your money and do NOT buy Guard ID systems - ID Vault.
