Password vault Help

Caveat

Currently the password vault program and the vaults must reside in the same folder. (It could stored on a thumb drive?) This will be changed in a future release/upgrade.

How to get started?

Create a vault and make sure everything works

  1. start the program
  2. create a new vault
  3. change the name of the vault
  4. add a few entries
  5. look at the vault stats to verify the data
  6. select a file name and a password for the vault
  7. save the vault using the password and file name
  8. REMEMBER THE PASSWORD AND FILE NAME
  9. shut down the program
  10. view the file on the disk to see the encrypted data (do not change it)
  11. re-start the program
  12. load the vault using the same password and file name
  13. look at the vault stats to verify the vault data

Move/Copy a Vault to a Different Folder

Currently the password vault files must be in the same folder as the Python program files and this help html file. (This restriction will change in a future release.)

Copy the Vault to a Different System

Same as move/copy the vault(s). Python also needs to be installed.

The first line of the main Python file (#!/usr/bin/python3) may need to point to a different location.
