Ever held off signing up for that new credit card, or gotten a replacement card, or switch addresses, and realized you have to update EVERYTHING thing you have in your life? Our team built IDENTITY, a personal assistant that changes out your credit card or address info across the services you use. If you ever switch credit cards or need to update card numbers or addresses - BOOM. Best part - your personal data such as login, passwords, numbers and addresses are encrypted and stored locally on the device alone. Since we love Product Hunt, we're announcing here first - we have a desktop app that's coming soon and we're adding even more features to this personal assistant.

@fahdoo Oh no! Sorry Fahd we didn't have it ready at the time. The good thing is that if you set it up, next time anything happens or you want to switch cards, it's a click away.

@marco_wirasinghe @sudipshah this is really exciting product! I read through your Privacy Policy and Terms, but couldn't find the answer to the following security concerns I have before I install: 1) how are you able to grab my passwords from google? do they provide an api for this, or are you scraping them from somewhere? 2) how are you actually transmitting my new credit card to these online accounts? Are you doing in a UIWebView on the device itself, basically driving the browser, or using private apis to deposit the information, or something else? 3) If you are using a hidden UIWebView, does this mean it is vulnerable to jailbroken devices? I basically want to know the path my data takes and who is touching it Thanks!

@arush @sudipshah 1) Instead of a user having to type in their passwords by hand, the app imports passwords from passwords.google.com. The important operation happens directly from the phone and is encrypted and stored only on the phone. 2) We use a hidden WKWebView and developed technology to drive the browser on the phone. Users benefit because the number of services we support is driven by how fast we can push sites and not integration speed, and merchants benefit from getting better quality data from the consumer without having to make any site changes/integrations. 3) While we don’t disclose details of our implementations, we’ve taken a lot of protections for ensuring the data remains encrypted and safe on the device. It is well known that users who jailbreak their phones are at a higher risk of malware and exploits, and our application doesn’t introduce further risk.

@marco_wirasinghe @sudipshah this is an extremely clever implementation, thanks for your reply!

Love this idea. After opening the app it doesn't have some of my quick options (1password, icloud) so I'll have to set it up later.

@keithbarney Thanks for downloading and trying out the app! We are investigating ways to integrate with 1Password, iCloud and other password managers. Question for you: do you use Dropbox / iCloud for your cross-device sync for 1Password?

@keithbarney Thanks. Since we do everything through the app (without any server side integrations), we access password stores that are present on the web - hence the support for Chrome (passwords.google.com), LastPass and Dashlane. We are exploring ways to integrate with options like 1Password without giving up the security advantage of device-only integrations.

every 2 years i am in the same situation like millions of credit card owners: the credit card expires and you have to update it with the new one everywhere it is hosted. it s painful and cumbersome. this seems like a nice product idea to solve that pain
