So, I've paid for the newspaper, I've paid for the mSecure password vault, and I've paid for the ad-blocker only to find that mSecure has found a way to bombard me with unwanted ads and no way to turn them off and no way to get a refund. In short, I've found this third party website essentially useless. The third party company does have a website but that site has only been capable of sending me around in circles without being of any help at all in solving the problem of the unwanted ads that mSecure has allowed to be inserted. This third party-with which mSecure says it has no connection-has no customer support telephone number I can locate. Moreover, mSecure has apparently outsourced its customer support work to some third party, with which they are careful to explain they have no connection. BUT! Without prior disclosure, the mSecure app comes with the capability of allowing my ad blockers to be completely bypassed and, for example, allowing a number of big ads to be dropped into and around the newspaper I read daily. I advise all of you new to this to do the same. I’ll be moving on to a different product and no longer will support these money grubbers. So in their greed to make more money, they are taking away features already paid for unless you agree to their subscription. The only problem? Tags are one of the paywall-blocked features in their new premium subscription model. In v6, they’ve taken away groups and replaced them with “tags” which can be added to password entries (now called vaults). Groups were a “pro” feature, if I recall correctly. I have a group for my utilities logins, for example. In v5, you had ability to assign a password entry to a “group”, to better organize your passwords. They claim pro membership keeps everything they had (and gets more) but it’s a lie. They now offer a “premium” subscription (monthly or yearly) if you want to keep same features you had previously. Now they have created a new version (again, which their app forced me into an upgrade of) and dropped the $30 pro membership off the map. Unfortunately this company’s greed knows no bounds. When I was forced to upgrade to v5, I decided to reward the company with some money for a good product and purchased their “pro” membership for $30. So just to set expectations, I’ve used MSecure since version 4. I understand you get more “features” for that $30 than just the biometric login, but why is that a pro feature in the first place? There are tons of apps out there where it is a basic feature so charging money for it seems like a money grab. I had touch login on my previous phone, but after upgrading to the iPhone 11 it is now locked behind a $30 paywall. Next feature that is missing is the biometric login. Actual quote from this weekend, “Sorry Wife, the app that we have used for years has decided to put the free version of backing up our data behind a paywall and I didn’t notice so our options are to spend $30 right now or just lose the data.” Thanks for that argument. Now all backups are a pro feature and when my wife and I bought new phones this weekend we were left high and dry without any way of backing up our data. This was a bit slow and clunky, but it was nice in the event something happened with my phone. You used to have the ability to create an email backup and automatic sync was a pro feature. If these features had always been on the pro version I would understand, but they started out free to draw in new customers and then were moved up after the app gained more recognition I don’t begrudge the company for making a pro version with more features, but they seemed to have pushed out some of the basic features into the pro version to force you to upgrade. I have used the free version MSecure for many years.
