Backup and Recovery

You only need your login password to decrypt a backup file. Everything else is included in the backup file itself.

Though the probability is low, you can't deny that you may lose your passwords in various cases. So please backup your passwords regularly. You can use [settings -> Back Up] function implemented in the password manager. This will trigger a download of a strongly encrypted txt file. You can keep this file in cloud storage services such as Google Drive and Dropbox. If the password manager you use is damaged, you can go here and download the same version of the password manager you used. By using its recovery function, your txt file and your login password, you can recover all your passwords. Then export as raw and in your new password manager, import from backup. All passwords in txt file is encrypted and your login password which is used to decrypt won't be in the txt file. So it's safe to keep the txt file in cloud storage services.

For your passwords safety, your login password to password manager won't be included in the recovery file. You still need your login password to decrypt the recovery file. The backup file is independent to config file. You don't need to backup your config.php

• The purpose of the recovery file is to protect your password in case of data loss. NOT IN CASE THAT YOU FORGET YOUR PASSWORD (No one can get your passwords without your login password!)
• To recover your passwords, go to the homepage of the password manager and click Password Recovery.
• WARNING: Files stored in Password-Manager won't be included in backup file by default. If you want to keep files in backup txt as well, choose [include file] option when you generate backup. Note this will make backup file much larger.
