AES and SSL Security Measures
What we have here is a very nifty app in the Productivity category of the App Store that you can use to ensure all of your sensitive data safe and is kept safe and secure with AES encryption, as well as SSL security which is used to synchronize your data with the LockBox desktop app.

No More Unnecesssary Categories
sLockBox Free does, however, allow you to choose from pre-defined items such as account number, 4-digit PIN, user ID, password, and so on, but this is very different from arbitrarily categorizing information, most of which is going to be the same thing like login details and bank account information.
