BACKUP & RECOVERY
A second way in.
Kept safely by you.
Each vault gets 12 recovery words generated from independent random material. They are separate from your pattern and device key, and can recover access when the encrypted vault files are still available.

GOOD TO KNOW
Words are not a backup.
They cannot recreate missing or deleted files. Changing words also does not revoke an older copied access header: the live vault’s master key is unchanged. Full master-key rotation is not implemented.
