Revamped Editing Experience Farewell to the Drawer: Enter the Properties Panel The once-familiar Properties Drawer for editing cards has now gracefully stepped aside to make room for the new Properties Panel. This panel, which can be moved independently of the main eWallet window, offers a more intuitive and flexible editing experience. It aligns with Apple’s latest design guidelines, ensuring a seamless integration with the macOS ecosystem. Quick Action Buttons for Swift Editing Adding new cards is now a breeze with the introduction of quick action buttons in the editor. These buttons cater to the need for speed, allowing users to pick from frequently used usernames, generate passwords instantly, and easily manage dates. The emphasis is on streamlining the editing process, making eWallet 8.12 a time-saving ally in your digital endeavors. Customization and Viewing Options Tailored Grid Views for Every Card With eWallet 8.12, you have the power to set the Grid view option for each card individually. The flexibility extends further with a third type of card view that displays the configured view. This level of customization ensures that your digital wallet reflects your preferences and priorities, offering a personalized experience. Wallet-Wide Card Options Not all cards are created equal, and eWallet 8.12 recognizes this fact. The ability to set wallet-wide card options empowers users to manage their cards globally, ensuring consistency and coherence in their digital wallet. It’s a feature that speaks to the diverse needs of users who demand control and customization. Enhanced Backup and Restore Functionality Tailored Backups at Your Fingertips eWallet for macOS has long had a feature where it saves local copies of your wallet that come in handy for restoring an accidentally deleted wallet, or going back to an older version of your wallet to retrieve important information. This new update lets you easily get to the container the wallet files are stored in and also lets you set the number of internal copies made. (As always, these backups are internal, local copies that are deleted when the app is deleted and are not a substitute for good off-device backups.) Bug Fixes and Microsoft OneDrive Integration Resolving OneDrive Token Issues For users leveraging Microsoft OneDrive, eWallet 8.12 brings relief by addressing and fixing issues related to updating OneDrive tokens. This ensures a seamless and secure integration with OneDrive, eliminating any potential disruptions in the syncing process due to outdated tokens. Tackling File Name Challenges An additional fix in this update addresses problems associated with certain non-alphabetical characters in the wallet file name.

In the past, if you choose to sync via the cloud, you were limited to either Apple’s iCloud (for an all Apple scenario) or Dropbox. eWallet 8.11 now offers two major new options for cloud services: Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive . Configure eWallet once and then sync is pretty much automatic going forward. As with iCloud and Dropbox, everything is included with eWallet so there is no requirement to install Google Drive or OneDrive software. See our Sync information by platform article for a complete list of sync options. More password generation options Previous versions of the password generator would treat the selected Allowed Characters , A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc., as potential candidates for a password but wouldn’t require them . With the previous versions it was possible, due to randomness, to generate a password that didn’t include a number, even though numbers were selected. Now when you select no memory aid and a password length of at least 8, your password will include at least one of each of the characters in the Allowed Characters you selected. With features like AutoPass and the ability to copy/paste, you don’t often need to see your passwords to use them. In the cases where you do need to read your password, even with a good font certain characters can be hard to distinguish from each other (think zero and the letter O). If you find particular characters hard to distinguish (e.g., the number one from a lowercase L), then you can exclude those characters from the pool of Allowed Characters .

November 9, 2022 by Ken Apple has a strong focus on privacy and we believe that’s a good thing. For example, all third-party apps need to ask for permission to access your personal information such as location, contacts, calendars, and photos. An app using the microphone or camera requires your permission as well. And iOS 16 debuts a new feature called Safety Check that allows you to quickly stop sharing your private information if your personal safety is at risk. We believe in privacy too, especially in our eWallet app where the whole point is keeping your information private. Sometimes though, privacy can (at least temporarily) make things more difficult… Before iOS 16, apps could get the name of the device by by asking it (using an API ), "hey, what’s your name?" Pre iOS 16, the actual name of the device would come back, something like "Mary’s Awesome iPhone". When iOS 16 was released, a new privacy feature in iOS kicked in, and instead of getting back "Mary’s Awesome iPhone", iOS just returns "iPhone" regardless of the actual name. Normally that might not be a big deal, but...
