Encryption: AES-256
Your vault is encrypted with AES-256, the same standard used by governments and banks. Everything you add—entries, notes, attached documents—is encrypted on your device before it is ever saved. Without your master password, the data is unreadable.
Your data never leaves your control
Local Legacy Vault stores your vault on your computer (or chosen location). We do not upload your vault to our servers. Backups you create are encrypted files that only you can open with your master password. If your computer is lost or stolen, the vault file alone is useless without that password.
What we don't have access to
We cannot see your entries, read your documents, or reset your master password. There is no "forgot password" that gives us access—by design, so your privacy stays in your hands. If you lose the password and have no recovery phrase, the vault cannot be recovered; we have no back door.
Tip: Keep your master password and recovery phrase in a safe place. Use Backing Up Your Vault to create encrypted backups so you never lose access. For more, see Security on our main site.
