Setting Up Your Personal Vault PIN

The vault is gated by a PIN that's unique to each user, not shared across your organization. Your PIN is hashed (bcrypt) and stored only by you; nobody, including admins, can read it.

Create your PIN

  1. Open Settings → Vault PIN (or follow the prompt the first time you try to open the vault).

  2. Choose a 4-8 digit PIN you can remember. Avoid obvious sequences like 1234 or 0000.

  3. Confirm the PIN and save. You're ready to unlock the vault.

Unlocking the vault

Each time you open the Vault area, the PIN entry dialog appears. Enter your PIN to unlock for the current session. Closing the tab or signing out re-locks the vault.

Changing or resetting your PIN

  • To change it: go to Settings → Vault PIN, enter the current PIN, then set a new one.

  • To reset a forgotten PIN: see the brute-force lockout & recovery article. A reset requires re-authentication and clears the lockout counter.

Note: PINs are per user, not per organization. If you belong to multiple orgs, the same PIN works across all of them for your account.
