Local Password Vault protects your vault with AES-256 encryption in GCM mode. Your master password is processed with Argon2id key derivation to resist brute-force and GPU-based attacks. Each vault has a unique salt, making every vault cryptographically independent. The design is zero knowledge: only you know your master password. We never transmit, store, or have access to your vault data.
If your device is lost, your vault remains secure. All password entries are encrypted with AES-256 encryption and can only be unlocked with your master password. This ensures your passwords remain protected, even if someone gains access to your device. Your master password is strengthened with Argon2id key derivation and unique salts, making it extremely resistant to brute-force attacks.
No. Local Password Vault runs 100% offline. After you download and install the app, everything happens locally on your machine. There are no servers, no telemetry, and no background data sharing.
Local Password Vault runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. A single license gives you access to the installers for all three platforms.
The Floating Icon gives you quick access to your vault. It stays available on your desktop so you can copy and paste credentials without reopening the main window every time.
You can export your vault contents for safekeeping. Currently, the app does not support restoring a vault file directly. Because all data is stored locally on your machine, re-importing is not available yet. We recommend keeping a secure export copy in case you need to access your data outside of the app.
Yes. You can move your vault to a new computer. The app itself does not currently support importing passwords, so if you export your vault to a file, it cannot be re-imported back into the vault.
All vault data — including your stored entries — is encrypted with AES-256. Your master password is processed with Argon2id key derivation and unique salts, which protects it from cracking attempts. Nothing is stored in plain text, and no part of your vault is accessible without your master password.
No. By design, we cannot recover or reset your vault. Your master password is the only way to unlock your data. Choose a strong but memorable master password and create encrypted backups regularly.
No. Local Password Vault is sold as a one-time lifetime license. Your license is valid for life on the number of devices included in your plan.
