App to save card details

[superstar@123]

In today's scenario, many individuals possess more than five credit cards, making it impractical to carry them all at once. Moreover, for most online purchases, only the card number is required.
Storing card details in a convenient yet secure manner has been a priority for me. Over the years, I've explored solutions that strike a balance between convenience and security. Here's my take on a few options:

1. Folio: I've used this for over a year, and the recent launch of Folio 2.0 looks promising. The app allows easy copying of card numbers and saving the card itself. Despite incorporating security features, it's worth noting that Folio is a non-Indian app, and data is stored on their servers, raising security concerns.

2. Google Sheets: While a secure option, especially with two-factor authentication (2FA), it may not be the most convenient to access on a mobile device.

3. Zoop Wallet: A recent find, Zoop serves as both a document management app and a secure repository for card details. Card details stay on the phone, with cloud backup on Google Drive. This unique approach minimizes the risk of compromise, as card details aren't stored on external servers. Additionally, Google Cloud storage comes with 2FA for added security.

Of these options, I've opted for Zoop and have found it to be a satisfying choice.

If you've come across other noteworthy apps or solutions, feel free to share them. Any comments are also welcome! I hope you find this information helpful.

You can also use password managers like Bitwarden https://bitwarden.com/

I use Google keep 😄

You can simply save in a .txt file and compress it to .zip with a password and save it in gdrive.

You can simply utilize it in offline, but you miss graphics ui

Need
-- Zarchiver (optional if you can manage with xplore)
-- Xplore (file manager with several features, interface seems confusing)
-- Gdrive (optional only if you want cloud option)

Contacts mein save karo.

So while exploring the options, one of the main criteria is about "convenience to use" and I believe, none of the above has it !

Not secure at all.

(Zoop wallet needs login through biometric or PIN to see the card details)

Yes, I did considered them but found too much hassle while using it. Further, I am using Google password manager to save my password and having another password manager, its going to overlap ay many places.

As Linux-debian user, I don't feel inconvenience.

But I can develop a app with graphical interface, with same logic.

Any one wish to try ??

Bitwarden is best for both security and convenience of use. You can copy card number with the press of a button. Is available for windows/mac/ipad/iphone/android/browsers.

you can easily transfer your google password list to bitwarden.

However if you don't want to do that, you can just not allow auto-fill permission to bitwarden. It won't come up when you want to put up password but can be accessed manually when you want to copy card number.

This seems to be a good option and someone who is looking for solution, can definitely try.
As of now, I will explore zoop wallet more as it can also save some of the important documents and also has linkage with Digilocker.

I don't prefer saving card details anywhere.

Even do not copy it.

Try RED NOTE from play store.

A simple password enabled note pad app - you can store many txt messages, notes..... A 4 digit password is all you need.

I have photos of my card saved in word file password protected in case I need some card in emergency. Generally I don't save anywhere else.

Not secure at all.

Ok what basis are you saying Google Keep is not secure? It is connected to your Google Account after all.

If you're thinking about app lock, it's just a gimmick tbh. Whoever can unlock your phone is always trustworthy to you.

If you're that much paranoid, use Secure Folder facility on your device and save card details in a .txt file.

I just use Bitwarden.

I use chrome auto fill by saving the required cards under payment methods. Is this safe?

Just write them on a notebook, click picture and set as your wallpaper. Easy access for you and everyone else.
