With lot of attention and business, Android and Apple devices have also attracted hackers from around the world. However, with the release of Windows 8, Windows phones too have gained lot of momentum. Now, they are not behind its competitors when it comes to attracting hackers.
To stay in the market and in the race, Windows will have to build reputation and a sense of security among its users. If you are using a smart phone for quite some time now, then you know security means a lot more than just preventing malwares from entering your phone. You are equally conscious about your privacy more than ever.
Here I am sharing with you a list of Top 3 security apps for your Windows Phones, which you must know and use it to help prevent an attack, without compromising your privacy.
01) eWallet Go
We all do bank transactions and some time pay our online bills using Credit and Debit card etc. This is a very risky business. Smart Phones have found a way in to our private and professional life. We rely too much on these smart devices and there is no stopping us.
eWallet Go is a very popular app. It allows you to store sensitive information such as credit card, banking, PIN and other information. This app is also useful for professionals who wish to keep their personal and professional details separately.
However, it does not come free. It will cost you around $4.99 and it's worth it, if security is in your mind. If you were from India, it would cost Rs. 260.00. See here for more.

03) Keeper Password Manager
This app will manage your passwords. Sometimes it is difficult to remember all the passwords that we create in our lifetime. We usually save all the username and passwords in our computers or write it in a diary or some place we believe is safe. There is always a chance that we might lose these passwords (unknowingly) to strangers or your computer might be hacked.
A cloud-based app, the Keeper remembers all your passwords and keeps them secured by using a strong encryption algorithm.
