What Are Identities in a Password Manager? Addresses, Credit Cards, Documents

Passwords are just the beginning. Your digital life is full of other sensitive data that you type over and over again: your home address on every online order, your credit card number on every purchase, your passport number on every travel booking. Typing these manually is slow, error-prone, and risky — especially on untrusted networks.

That is where Identities come in. In UnveilPass, Identities are structured, encrypted records for your personal information. They are organized into three categories: Addresses, Credit Cards, and Documents.

The Three Types of Identities

1. Addresses

Your postal addresses — home, work, billing, shipping. Instead of typing your full address on every e-commerce checkout, you store it once and copy the fields when needed.

Fields stored:
Label (Home, Work...) Full Name Street Address City State / Province ZIP / Postal Code Country Phone Number

2. Credit Cards

Your payment cards — debit, credit, prepaid. Every field you need to complete an online purchase, stored encrypted and ready to copy.

Fields stored:
Name on Card Card Number Expiry Date (MM/YY) CVV / Security Code Billing Address
Why store credit cards in a password manager? Your browser's autofill stores card numbers in plain text on your device. A malware or a rogue browser extension can read them. In UnveilPass, they are encrypted with AES-256-GCM — no one can read them without your master password.

3. Documents

Identity documents — passports, driver's licenses, national ID cards, social security numbers, and any other official document you might need to reference.

Fields stored:
Document Type Document Number Full Name Issue Date Expiry Date Issued By Notes

Why Store Identities in a Password Manager?

Speed

How many times have you typed your home address this year? Your credit card number? With Identities, it is one click to copy any field. No more digging through your wallet or memory.

Accuracy

Mistyped a digit in your card number? Wrong ZIP code on a shipping form? Identities eliminate typos because you enter the data once, correctly, and reuse it everywhere.

Security

Consider where your personal data currently lives:

In UnveilPass, all Identity data is encrypted client-side with your vault key. The server stores only ciphertext. Even if the database were stolen, your card numbers and document details would be unreadable.

Organization

Multiple addresses (home, office, parents' house)? Several credit cards (personal, business, shared)? Different documents for different countries? Identities keep everything organized and searchable in one place.

Real-World Use Cases

Online Shopping

You find a product online. At checkout, you need your shipping address, billing address, and card number. Instead of typing 20+ fields manually, you open UnveilPass, copy each field in seconds, and complete the purchase faster and without errors.

Travel Booking

Booking a flight or hotel requires your passport number, expiry date, nationality, and sometimes your frequent flyer number. With a Document identity stored, you have everything at your fingertips — no need to dig out your physical passport.

Government Forms

Tax filings, visa applications, insurance claims — they all ask for your personal details repeatedly. Social security number, national ID, driver's license number. Store them once, use them whenever needed.

New Device Setup

Setting up a new phone or laptop? You need your Apple ID, Google account, various app logins, and often your credit card for app store purchases. Having everything in your vault makes the setup painless.

Sharing with Family

Need to give your partner the credit card details for an online order? Or share your address with a family member for a delivery? In UnveilPass, you can share identities securely through the contact and team sharing system — no more sending card numbers over WhatsApp.

Never share credit card numbers or document details via email, SMS, or messaging apps. These channels are not encrypted end-to-end (or the encryption is controlled by the provider). Use your password manager's encrypted sharing feature instead.

Identities vs. Secure Notes

Both are encrypted storage, but they serve different purposes:

Rule of thumb: If the information fits on a form (address, card, ID), use an Identity. If it is free text or does not fit a template, use a Secure Note.

How to Create an Identity in UnveilPass

  1. Log in to the UnveilPass web console
  2. Click Identities in the sidebar
  3. Click + New Identity
  4. Choose the type: Address, Credit Card, or Document
  5. Fill in the fields
  6. Click Save — encrypted and stored

Your identities are then available from any device where you log in to UnveilPass. They are encrypted and decrypted in your browser — the server never sees the plain data.

The Bottom Line

Your passwords protect your accounts. Your Identities protect you — your personal details, your financial information, your official documents. Together with Secure Notes, they transform UnveilPass from a password locker into a complete encrypted digital identity vault.

If you are still typing your credit card number by hand on checkout pages, or searching through old emails for your passport number, it is time to upgrade. Store it once, encrypted, and access it from anywhere.
