FAQ
Can't unlock the app? Unlocking uses your device biometric / screen lock. If you removed or changed your device lock and the key was invalidated, clear the app data (Phone Settings → Apps → SecureVault → Storage → Clear data), then restore from a backup.
Forgot your backup password? That backup file cannot be opened. Create a new backup with a password you'll remember.
Switching phones or doing a factory reset?
Back up on the old phone, move the .svbk file over, install SecureVault on the new phone, then Restore. Data is tied to the device's Keystore, so a backup is the only way to move it.
Why is the screen black in a screenshot?
That's intentional (FLAG_SECURE), to protect your passwords from screen capture and screen-sharing apps.
Does SecureVault use the internet? Only for the breach check, and only when you tap Check. There is no account, cloud sync, analytics, or ads.
Is there an app PIN? No. Unlocking uses your device's biometric or screen lock, which releases the vault's encryption key. This is stronger than a separate app PIN.
