Your key is these 12 words.

Your files are encrypted on this device before they are uploaded, with a key only you hold. Obsideo and the providers storing your files cannot open them.

You won't type these words day to day. This browser keeps your key, and you can add a phone or another computer by scanning a code from a device you already use.

You need the words if you lose every device you've linked, or clear this browser's data. There is no reset, because a reset would mean someone other than you could open your files.

Save them on paper or in a password manager, in this order.

Quick check.

Type three of your words so we know you have them.
