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 country of residence (for example, Canada) in myVAULT separately from the rest of your address, any time you typed "Canada" into an online Web form, ZoneAlarm security software would block transmission of the data.
|
Note - 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 Identity Protection | myVAULT, then click Add.
|
To add information to myVAULT:
- Select Identity Protection|myVAULT.
- Click Add.
The Add information to myVAULT dialog box will appear.
For maximum protection, ZoneAlarm 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.
|
Important - ZoneAlarm 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 to be protected. 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.

|
Note - 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.
To disable the encryption confirmation that appears by default, select Identity Protection | myVAULT, then click Options. Clear the Show encryption confirmation check box.
|
Asterisks will appear in place of the data you entered and an encrypted form of your data will be stored in myVAULT. ZoneAlarm 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 (if available in your version of the product).
- Click OK to save your changes.
