1. What is visKeeper PPC?
visKeeper is a secure information manager (data safe) for easy storage of all your text based private data, like passwords, PINs, bank accounts, ....
At startup you must enter your master passwort, which can be a PIN password, a text password or a picture password.

SFR holds a patent on this revolutionary new "Visual Key" technology for authentication and encryption, which is used for the picture password in visKeeper.
 
2. Why is visKeeper more secure than other secure information managers?
If you are using a 4-number PIN you have 10.000 different combinations for your password. visKeeper radically increases these combinations, and easily helps you keeping your password in mind.

If you are using a picture with 240x320 pixels (standard screen size of a QVGA pocket PC) and use a "input precision" of 20, then you have more than 1.000.000.000 combinations using only 4 spots in the picture for your password.
 
3. Will visKeeper PPC run on my Pocket PC?
visKeeper PPC runs on pocket PC's with ARM compatible processors (e.g. XScale). Since Windows Mobile 2002 all new devices have a compatible processor.

Just ask our forum or send an e-mail to our support, if you are not sure.
 
4. Can I install visKeeper PPC on an external memory card (e.g. SD card)?
Yes, you may do so. But we recommend installing security software to RAM.
 
5. Is there a maximum number of wrong password inputs for visKeeper?
No, you can try as long as you like.
 
6. Does visKeeper PPC support the Landscape mode?
Yes, visKeeper PPC has been programmed to switch automatically into the landscape mode.
 
7. What happens to the picture password if I change into the landscape mode?
The password is still defined by the same spots in the picture. You may have to use the scroll bars to view all parts of the picture.
 
8. I can't remember my password. What can I do?
If you have forgotten your password, we can't help you either.
You can't access your private data any more.
 
9. May I use my license for the PC version, too?
Only if you have purchased a license of visKeeper Professional.
 
10. Which version of the program is installed on my device?
Click on the pushbutton "Information" [i] at the main view of visKeeper. In the following view you will find information about the program version as well as a brief introduction.
 
11. May I use visKeeper and visKey parallel on my device?
Yes.
 
12. How can I get new program versions of visKeeper PPC?
As a registered user you automatically receive an e-mail, if a new version is released. You can download the latest version from our download area.
 
13. Which picture formats may I use with visKeeper PPC?
Only *.JPG files are supported.
 
14. Can visKeeper PPC show pictures, which are bigger than the usual pictures in the pocket PC format?
Yes, visKeeper PPC adjusts itself automatically to the size of the chosen picture. There are scroll bars, which allow you to move the picture. The safety of your password increases with the size of the chosen picture!
 
15. What happens if I delete the picture, which I already use as my password picture (visDoor)?
visKeeper duplicates the picture into a safe area. This means that the original file is not necessary for the protection of your private data.
 
16. I want a picture filling the whole pocket PC screen, but without scroll bars? What size does the picture need?
This depends on your pocket PC device:
On pocket PC with QVGA display (240x320 pixels) you need a picture with width/height of 240x271 pixels.
On a pocket PC with VGA display the sizes increase by factor 2 (480x588 pixels and 480x542 pixels).
 
17. Where can I enter my license to register visKeeper?
Click on the pushbutton "Information" [i] at the main view of visKeeper. In the following view click on the pushbutton with the pen down on the left. In the following dialog you can enter your license and activate it by clicking on the green check mark.
 
18. Why does visKeeper not accept my license?
Maybe you mistyped or you purchased a license for the software visKey. We are able to tell you for which program and version your license is valid if you send it to support@sfr-software.com.
 
19. Why do I have to click "Login" in the menu after the input of my visKeeper password?
If you want to accelerate the login process you may activate "Fast Login" in the program's options. visKeeper will then effect the login automatically with the input of the last point of your password.
Keep in mind, that this option reduces the security of your password.
 
20. May I use multiple safes on my device?
Yes.
 
21. Why does visKeeper start so slowly?
There might be duplicate Notification Events on your system. Try to remove them with the freeware „Check Notifications“.
 
22. My question is not among the FAQ's. Whom may I turn to?
You may send us an e-mail: support@sfr-software.com.

Final Conclusion:
