When it comes to protection, passwords come into mind. But when you think about it, is it fool proof? Given the chance, anyone could simply make a wild guess and perhaps open your iPhone and see all your confidential files and do as they please. So what would be a great alternative security option then?

Well, there is a software company that has released an app where you can secure your iPhone with perhaps the one thing that many would be hard to crack; Voice Security. The software is the VOICESAFE where voice authentication is the only means to access your data and important files. Neat!

VOICESAFE stores PIN numbers of credit or debit cards, passwords for logins and simply secrets of all kinds on the iPhone– including the birthday surprise for your beloved one. When activating the VOICESAFE for the first time the user will be asked to record a sentence he/she would like to use as passphrase (e.g. “My voice is my passport”). The software then generates a voice profile to doubtlessly differentiate the iPhone’s owner from third party. The personal secrets stored on the mobile device will be displayed only after the iPhone application has both recognized the voice and the passphrase.

The software is actually now available at the iTunes store. If you want to try it out, there is a version which you can try for 4 weeks. If you want to get the actual app in its full version you can get the unlimited version at their main site.
