LoginIt for iPhone & iPad

1. Introduction

LoginIt is very efficient and user-friendly app for helping you to login to your favorite web sites and applications.

App was designed to make copying of login data as quick and easy as possible. The only thing you need to do is to choose what you want to copy. It really cannot be simpler.

Starting from version 2.0 app supports iCloud data synchronization – login data on all iOS devices with same iCloud account will be synchronized.

LoginIt is particularly useful when you login to the web TV, online streaming, iTunes, etc.

Just register Login/User ID and Password in your app. Later on you can easy copy them using very useful feature – auto copy of login and password:

· Login password is copied just by selecting it in app: copying operation is performed automatically during switching from LoginIt to another application.

· Information about copied item is communicated to the user by local notification.

If you wish you can generate strong random passwords, which are highly secure and difficult to crack or guess.

Data can be protected by activating of PIN code.

You can customize the app functionality by using “Settings-function”.

App “Help-function” available in the app or on WWW contains detailed description of all functions, and options.

In the app has been implemented total saving/restoration of state – it means that app might be interrupted at any time (by phone call, pressing one of device buttons, screen lock) and your data will not be lost. When app is activated next time all not saved data will be restored.

App is optimized for iOS8, iOS7, iOS6, iOS5.

Pictures in current documentation are taken from iOS8.x and iOS7.x version of TimeIt. On devices, which are running older versions of iOS (6.x and 5.x) some controls will look slightly different. Following table contains couple of examples of such differences.
