Getting ready

Before you start to sign up please have the following two pieces of information handy.

A name or email address you want to use for your profile.
A strong master password for your profile that is at least 4 characters long.

Strong master password

You should use a combination of lowercase and uppercase characters, numbers and some special characters (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *,... etc.) for your master password, and it should be long enough to make it all the more secure.

We recommend that you have a master password that is 12 or more characters long, and that you do not use common words, names, dates or other known pieces of information about yourself.

SplashID Classic security is designed in such a way that your profile can be accessed only with a master password. To keep your profile secure, ensure that only you know this critical piece of information.

We cannot reset your master password

We do not have any mechanism to reset your password in case you forget it.

Please download a recovery kit after you create your profile. The recovery kit can be used to access your profile if you do not remember your master password.

Profile creation

You can create a SplashID profile for yourself in a desktop, tablet or mobile application by following the steps given below.

Install SplashID Classic from the application store on your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
Launch the installed SplashID Classic app, and accept any permissions that the device asks for. Not accepting any of the required permissions will cause some functions in the application to stop working.
Select No as you are creating your profile for the first time.
Enter your name or email address, master password, confirm your master password, and accept the terms of our service. Click or tap on the Create profile button to start the profile creation process.
Next select Local WiFi or No sync as your sync method.

The steps to unlock a SplashID Classic application are given below.

If you have fingerprint or face recognition support on your device, you can use this instead of the master password to unlock the app. You can enable or disable fingerprint or face recognition support in the Security screen in Settings.

Copying profile

You can use a device with an existing profile of yours to setup another device. On your other devices, install SplashID Classic, select Yes to copy your existing profile from another device. and use the copy profile feature to setup your local profile on them.

While setting up the other devices, they should be on the same local network as your device from which you are copying from.

Follow the copy profile instructions shown on the screen to complete the setup of other devices.

As an example the screenshots below show how to copy a profile from one iPhone to another.

Recover your password

If you do not remember your master password, locate the recovery kit that you had safely stored during the profile creation phase and open it.

Open the recovery kit with any PDF viewer software like the free Adobe Acrobat reader. It contains a 32 character recovery code that can be used by you to regain access to your profile and change your master password to a new one.

Use the latest generated recovery kit

Only the latest downloaded recovery kit will be valid. Any previously downloaded recovery kits can no longer be used.

Keep the latest recovery kit very safely, and discard the old recovery kits to prevent any confusion in the future.

Label and value

Each record field is a pair of values. It contains a label and a value. The field label helps you identify what is the value contained in the field. The labels and values can be edited as per your needs.

Managing fields

When you add a new record, you can select a type for the record. The type is like a template with predefined fields that will be included in the record.

Type template on record addition

Once a record is added, changing the type will not change the fields in it. The type is then used as an indicator of the record contents.

You can also delete individual fields, or add more fields to the record. There is no limit on the number of fields you can have in a record.

Record fields also have actions associated with them that are useful while accessing the information in them.

Record fields can be ordered in the way you want. By default, when you add a new field it gets added to the end of the list of fields.

Password fields are masked by default when records are viewed.

You can also mask any other fields that you want to. To do this, edit a record, and click or tap on the eye icon to the right of the field to mask or unmask it.

URL fields

These fields can contain web site addresses. They display an Open link button to the right of the field that will open the web site in your browser.

If you later decide to change your sync mode on the device then you can do that in the Settings section from inside the app.

Sync mode changes

The sync mode is chosen by you depending on how you want to store and sync your data on your device. It is not intended to be changed frequently as it requires additional actions on your behalf to ensure that data is in sync before and after changing sync modes.

Types of syncing

There are two types of sync modes in SplashID Classic.

Local WiFi sync
No sync

DesktopMobileTablet

Mac	Windows

Android	iPhone

iPad

WiFi sync

WiFi sync is a (1) Pro feature

Requires a paid SplashID Classic license.

In this mode you can sync your information between your devices that are connected to the same local network. The devices can be connected to the local network over WiFi or by using a LAN cable.

Use WiFi sync mode if you want your records to sync between your SplashID Classic applications on your devices. Here your data flows between the devices on your local network only.

The sections below explain how to sync your data using WiFi sync.

Enabling Wifi sync

If you need to change your profile to Wifi sync, please do the following.

Click or tap on the Settings item in the application menu.
Click or tap on Sync.
Click or tap on the Sync with other devices over WiFi setting to enable it.

Syncing manually

You can manually start WiFi sync between your devices. The steps below explain in general on how to perform WiFi sync between any two devices with SplashID Classic on them.

Ensure that both your devices are connected to the same local network. This will normally be the case if all your devices connect to the same internet router in your home or office.
Unlock your profile on both your devices.
On one of your devices, navigate to the My Records screen by clicking or tapping on the My Records entry in the application menu.
Click or tap on the Wifi sync button displayed on top of the record list screen to go to the WiFi sync screen.
Click or tap on the device in the list that should be synced with. Wait till the WiFi sync completes.

Sync direction in WiFi sync

By default the sync direction is two way sync.

You can select one of the other to options to override the sync direction that allows for overwriting the data on one device with the data from the other device.

WiFi syncing with unlisted devices

If you do not see your device with the same profile listed then you need to add it to the trusted devices list. Ensure that you have unlocked SplashID Classic on the unlisted device and have connected your device to your WiFi network.

Tap on the + New device to start the process. This will display another screen where you will see the unlisted device. Click or tap on the Add button and follow the steps to complete the pairing process.

Troubleshooting WiFi sync

The following conditions need to be met for WiFi sync to happen between your devices. Check that all of them have been fulfilled.

You have signed in with the same SplashID Classic profile on your two devices.
Both of your devices are connected to the same local network.
You have accepted all permissions asked for when the app was installed or when launched.
You do not have any firewalls on your devices or internet router that block SplashID Classic traffic to flow between them.

Restarting WiFi services

There are two options to further troubleshoot discovery and connection issues. Please ensure that the requirements as listed above are met before you try one or both of the options given below.

Restart WiFi service

Click on the refresh button to restart the app WiFi broadcast and discovery services. Once clicked wait for a few seconds for the WiFi services to do their work in the background.

Refresh WiFi broadcast

Sometimes you just need the other devices to see the device you are currently on. In such cases, you can just make the current device broadcast its presence to the other devices by clicking on the refresh button.

No sync

In this mode SplashID Classic on the device will have its own information.

If you do not want your records to sync between some or all of your devices, then you can set your profile in No sync mode on all these devices.

Enabling No sync

If you need to switch your profile to No sync, please do the following.

Click or tap on the Settings item in the application menu.
Click or tap on Sync.
Click or tap on the Sync with other devices over WiFi setting to disable it.

Copying profile

In No sync devices too, you can use the same steps as described in copying your profile to setup your profile on multiple devices.

Ensure that both your devices are connected to the same local network.

Mixing WiFi and No sync

There are no restrictions on using only one type of sync method across all your devices.

If you choose, you can setup some of your devices to use WiFi sync, and the other devices to use No sync. In this case you will be able to use your WiFi sync devices to sync the information in them over WiFi. The ones with the No sync device will then work independently of all your other devices.

Migrate your SplashID Safe or SplashID Pro 9 data

The page explains how you can manually migrate your SplashID Safe or SplashID Pro 9 data to SplashID Classic.

The applications for SplashID Classic can be installed and used along with the SplashID Safe or SplashID Pro 9 applications on the same device.

The migration does not change the data in your SplashID Safe or SplashID Pro 9 account, and you can continue using it as long as their licenses are valid.

However the data will not sync between SplashID Classic and SplashID Safe, or between SplashID Classic and SplashID Pro 9 apps.

Data migration from SplashID Safe

You can manually migrate your data using a SVID file.

Start both the SplashID Classic and, SplashID Safe applications on the same device. Use a desktop preferably, as it will be easier to export the SVID file to a folder of your choice.
In the SplashID Safe application select all records and export them to a SVID file.
Go back to the SplashID Classic application, and go to Settings, then Import & Export. Click on the Import button in the SVID section, and select the SVID file exported in step 2 above for import.
Wait till the import gets over. It could take a few minutes depending on the amount of data you have, and the processing power of your device.

Data migration from SplashID Pro 9

You can manually migrate your data using a SVID9 file.

Start both the SplashID Classic and, SplashID Pro 9 applications on the same device. Use a desktop preferably, as it will be easier to export the SVID9 file to a folder of your choice.

Note

Some users might see no records being displayed after the import process completes. We recommend you wait for some more time and then quit from the app. On relaunching your data should get displayed.

What do I do if my import fails?

You can retry the import after quitting the SplashID Classic application and launching it again.

If it still fails, check the size of the SVID or SVID9 file. It should not be zero bytes.

If the SVID or SVID9 file appears to have content, then please check your SplashID Safe or SplashID Pro 9 account to see if there is corrupted data, or any missing types or categories in the records. If you spot them, try editing the problematic records, save them and then export the SVID or SVID9 file again.

Finally, try importing this cleaned up SVID or SVID9 file again in SplashID Classic.
