The places that ask for a photo of your ID keep getting breached, and a driver's license is not a password you can rotate. CoverTrace finds the sensitive fields, including the barcode on the back of a license that repeats the details printed on the front, and covers them. Every export is re-rendered flat, so there is nothing under the box to recover and photo metadata does not carry over. Pay stubs, statements and bills work the same way. No servers, no accounts, nothing leaves your phone.
