Personal Data Vault is an impressive program that keeps your personal files, passwords, and login information safe, and allows you to securely destroy sensitive documents. The clean, easy-to-use interface presents folders in a tree-like form, and it's simple to select items you want to safeguard. We were pleased to find it automatically deletes a file once it's moved into storage, with no less than eight shredding algorithms for ensuring secure file removal. The ability to store Web login information and passwords makes this program an all-in-one security tool. The program goes the extra step not only by creating backups, but by applying the same level of security to them as your original secured vault does. You also can set a time limit for inactivity and automatically close the vault, which is perfect for users who frequently leave their computers unattended. This cheap yet very efficient tool is suitable for any user who wants to safeguard his or her sensitive data.

Stopped working after a couple of years.

Pros
Seemed to work OK for a year and a half
Cons
suddenly stop working someday asking for a license code even though you have a valid license.
Summary
Don't use this product for anything important. Tenebril support was unable to resolve the problem even though they acknowledged I had a valid license. Spent months of going back and forth with them. Now they don't even bother to reply to emails so everything I stored in the vault is lost forever.
It's good for what I need it for!

Pros
All I wanted was a secure place to keep all of my passwords. It does that... and I soon will try keeping files and documents as well. But for now, it's all I need!
Cons
Summary
Whatever you do don't lose the order code!

Pros
Average vault
Cons
You have to re-unlock this vault EVERYTIME you use a different IP or wifi! Which means you have to carry around the original order code anytime you travel.
