Adding data to myVAULT

While you can store any type of information in myVAULT, it is a good idea only to store information that you wish to keep secure, such as credit card numbers and identification information. If you were to store information such as your state (for example, California) in myVAULT separately from the rest of your address, any time you typed "California" into an online Web form, Zone Labs security software would block transmission of the data.

If you're unsure of the type of information that should be entered into myVAULT, refer to the pre-defined categories for guidance. To access the list of categories, select ID Lock|myVAULT, then click Add.

To add information to myVAULT:

Select ID Lock|myVAULT.


Click Add.



The Add information to myVAULT dialog box will appear.

For maximum protection, Zone Labs security software encrypts myVAULT data by default. If you do not want to encrypt the data as you enter it, clear the "Use one-way encryption..." check box.

Type a description of the item you are adding.
Zone Labs security software displays the item description in ID Lock alerts. Be sure that the description you enter is different from the value of the item you are adding and vice versa. If the information to be protected and the description contain some or all of the data, you may receive multiple ID Lock alerts.



Select a category from the drop-down list.
Access PIN	Personal access code or other ID number. Maximum of 6 characters. For added security, Access PINs are always encrypted.
Address	Maximum 30 characters.
American Express card	For added security, Zone Labs security software does not record the last 5 digits of your American Express card number.
Bank account	Maximum 14 characters.
Credit card	For added security, Zone Labs security software does not record the last 4 digits of your credit card number.
Driver's license	Maximum 15 characters.
eBay password	The password you use to access the eBay Web site. Your eBay password can only be sent to eBay. Maximum 20 characters.
E-mail Address	Maximum 60 characters.
International tax ID	Maximum 15 characters.
Mother's maiden name	Maximum 30 characters.
Name	Maximum 30 characters.
Passport number	US passport number or other International ID number. Maximum 30 characters.
Password	Enter the password to be protected. Maximum 20 characters.
Phone	Separators such as parentheses and dashes are not allowed. Maximum 13 characters.
US Social Security number	Requires 9 digits.
Other	Use this field to enter items that either do not correspond to any of the pre-configured categories, or which exceed the character limit for the corresponding category. Maximum 30 characters.



Type the data to be protected.
To disable the encryption confirmation that appears by default, select ID Lock|myVAULT, then click Options. Clear the Show encryption confirmation check box.
Data encryption is enabled by default. If you do not want to encrypt your data, clear the "Use one-way encryption..." check box. Because of the sensitive nature of the data, PIN numbers, passwords, the last four digits of your social security number, and the last four digits of your credit card numbers will always be displayed as asterisks, whether or not you choose to encrypt them.




Asterisks will appear in place of the data you entered and an encrypted form of your data will be stored in myVAULT. Zone Labs security software will compare the encrypted data with your outgoing messages.

Specify whether you want the information to be protected when using Web, E-mail, and Instant Messengers (ZoneAlarm Security Suite only).
