New: Windows Hello for the vault

Unlock the vault with your face, fingerprint or Windows PIN instead of the vault PIN. Off by default, one switch in Settings → Tools → Vault.

The vault asking for Windows Hello Windows Hello switch in the vault settings

  • Stronger encryption. With Windows Hello on, passwords and 2FA keys are additionally encrypted with AES-256. The key comes from a Windows Hello key that lives in your PC's security chip (TPM) and only works after you confirm. Even malware running under your account can't read them without that confirmation.
  • Same as before when it's off. Without the switch, the vault keeps using its own 4-digit PIN.
  • Turning Windows Hello on asks for the vault PIN; turning it off asks for Windows Hello and moves everything back.
  • If Windows Hello is reset on this PC (for example after removing the Windows PIN), entries protected by it can't be recovered. Names and usernames stay visible; Reset vault starts fresh.
