About Jignasu

He started his career as a Technical Sales Manager and has been with the company for more than fifteen years, playing a significant role in its growth.

Jignasu’s transition from spreadsheet to the encrypted vault
Being a seasoned information technology expert himself, Jignasu was quite aware of identity theft and used an encrypted spreadsheet to manage all his personal online account details and other confidential data. While spreadsheets helped him to an extent, it inevitably became cumbersome for him to manage the growing list of his passwords. His work involves a great deal of travel and often requires him to use a client’s machine. This left him feeling insecure about accessing his confidential data and led him to look for a web-based identity management solution.
“Initially, I was using Microsoft Excel to manage all my passwords and other confidential data. I wanted a simple software application to replace it for security reasons, and that’s when I started looking at software like LastPass and KeePass, but I found Zoho Vault to be just perfect for my requirements. It is simple and easy to use, with clear instructions in the web interface itself for a starter like me. When I’m stuck somewhere, I’ll drop a mail to support and Christopher, the tech support guy, will come to my rescue.”
Today, I remember only one master password to manage all my accounts. I log in to all my online accounts, securely share passwords with others in a click, and save a lot of time. This is something everyone would like, too. I will definitely suggest it to our clients and ask them to give it a shot.
