FAQ
Q: How do I back up my data?
A: Use Export vault in your client and save the JSON file.
Q: What if I forget the master password?
A: It can’t be recovered (end-to-end encryption). Keep it safe.
Q: Can multiple people use it?
A: Yes. The first registered user becomes the admin. The admin can generate invite codes from the admin panel, and other users register with those codes.
