Creating Your First Vault

Getting Started with SafeVault

Setting up your first vault is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to start securing your passwords in minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit safevault.pro and click Get Started. Enter your email address to create your account.

Step 2: Choose Your Master Password

Your master password is the single key to your entire vault. Choose something strong and memorable:

• Use at least 12 characters
• Mix uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
• Avoid dictionary words or personal information
• Consider using a passphrase like "correct-horse-battery-staple"

Important: SafeVault uses zero-knowledge architecture, so we never see your master password. If you forget it, we cannot recover it for you. Store your recovery kit in a safe place.

Step 3: Set Up Your Recovery Kit

After creating your master password, SafeVault generates a recovery kit. This is a one-time code that lets you regain access if you forget your master password.

• Download or print the recovery kit
• Store it in a physically secure location (e.g., a safe or locked drawer)
• Never store it digitally alongside your vault

Step 4: Install the Browser Extension

For the best experience, install the SafeVault browser extension:

1. Go to your browser's extension store
2. Search for "SafeVault"
3. Click Install and sign in with your new account

Step 5: Add Your First Password

You can add passwords manually or import them from your browser or another password manager. Click the + button in your vault to add an entry manually, or see our guide on importing passwords.
