Windows Phone Thoughts: Keeping Your Identity (and Everything Else) Safe Using Spb Wallet 1.0

At the card level, Spb Wallet uses a credit card visual interface, although a more traditional field display is also available via selections in the Options.

To access all of the fields associated with the card and/or make any changes, you select the Edit function from the right soft-key.

The 'Lock' entry on the left soft key (back at the folder screen) provides a quick and easy way to close up the wallet and leave the application (kind of like how we'd like the X in the top right to work, eh???:devilboy:). 'Menu' (on the right soft key) provides options for accessing most of the functions of Spb Wallet (opening wallets, changing the view, accessing templates, password generator, and synchronization).

The Search function provided on the Menu soft key is an active one, in which the results are displayed and updated as you are typing in the keywords to be used. The results also include information held in the Help files.

There is also a Backup function available which appears to just take a copy of the file, rather than store it in a separate structure, since the wallet file is already stored in a compressed, encrypted format. This provides an easy, convenient way to store a dated version of the file in a secure place, but you could also accomplish the same thing with the copy function from File Explorer.
