MySocialCloud is a cloud-based bookmark vault and password website that allows users to log into all of their online accounts from a single, secure website.[1] The company's investors include Sir Richard Branson, Insight Venture Partners’ Jerry Murdock, and PhotoBucket founder Alex Welch.[1][2][3] The company and its founders have been featured in TechCrunch and The Huffington Post.
History
MySocialCloud was co-founded by Scott Ferreira, Stacey Ferreira, and Shiv Prakash in 2011.[2][4] The idea for a one-stop password storage and login tool came when a computer crash left Scott without documents he used to store access information to his online data.[1]
In 2013, the siblings sold MySocialCloud to Reputation.com.[5]
Services
MySocialCloud is cloud-based, and the platform lets users securely store passwords and automatically log into several social media websites simultaneously.[1] The website auto-populates password fields, letting the user log into all of the sites at the push of a button.[6][7]
The service also provides users with security updates for the websites they have included in their profile, and informs users if a website has been hacked.[8] Security played a major role during development of the platform.[1] Passwords stored on the service are salted and hashed with a two-way encryption method known as AES.[8]
