💾 Saving Your Access Code
Your code is displayed with two save options:
- 📋 Copy - Paste into password manager
- 📥 Download - Save as text file for printing
Where to Store It
✅ Safe places:
- Password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, etc.)
- Written down in a safe or secure location
- Printed copy with important documents
❌ Never save here:
- Screenshots, emails, sticky notes
- Unencrypted files or cloud storage
💡 Best practice: Store in 2-3 safe places (password manager + written backup + trusted family member)
Check “I have saved my access code securely” to continue.
🛡️ Why is Your Vault Access Code Important?
- Complete privacy: Your access code never leaves your device unencrypted. All locking and unlocking happens on your computer.
- Only you know it: We can never see or access your access code. Only you know it.
- Cannot be recovered: If you lose your vault access code, we cannot help you get it back. This protects your privacy completely.
Treat your vault access code like the combination to a safe. If you lose it, you lose access to everything inside.
After you save your vault access code, setup is complete! You’ll go to next step of personalization.
