If you can't recover your password for some reason keep calm and try to remember it as best as possible.
You can try different combinations unlimited times and hopefully remember your password. There's no time limit.
Start Privary and enter your password. Don't submit. Instead, press for a second on the submit button until a message pops up. Follow the instructions.
The result from the check is validated as it decrypts a file from your vault and shows you whether the process was successful.
You can use the deep check unlimited times.
From the password deep check select the option Delete Keyfile. This allows you to login with any password but will show your files only if you use the matching password. This must be the same password that you have used when securely imported the files.
Privary encrypts any file inside your Private Vault with AES CTR 256. Considering an attacker gains access to your files, decryption is impossible without the matching password.
Delete the keyfile from the password deep check and manually check the result by logging in with the selected password.
Encryption knows right or wrong but nothing between. Even if you write your password almost correctly, for example if you forget a letter or mix up upper and lower case, it's not accepted. As soon as you enter the matching password, the password check will confirm accordingly.
No. Your password will always remain same until you consciously change it.
This may happens when the new device has received data from the old device but the Privary Keyfile is not consistent. to login and follow the to move your Vault to your new device.
Just reach out to our with a proof that you are the owner of the email account in question in order to get that changed.
