Where will you use Passary?

Both apps use the current Passary vault format. Pick the one that fits your device; you can move an encrypted vault file between them.

RECOMMENDED ON WINDOWS

On your Windows PC

Save a real .passaryvault file in a location you choose. Work offline, and use local backup and recovery tools.

In your browser

Try Passary in a modern browser or use it on a device without a native release. Export an encrypted copy if your vault lives in browser storage.

From first launch to a vault you can rely on

Follow these three steps before exploring the extras. Your first backup is part of setup, not something to leave for later.

01

START WITH A VAULT

Create one, or bring yours over

On Windows, choose Create Vault, set a strong, unique master password, and optionally add a keyfile. Then save the new .passaryvault file where you want it. A new Windows vault is not on disk until you save it.

Already have a Passary vault? Export its encrypted .passaryvault file from the web app and choose Import Vault on Windows. Supply the keyfile if that vault requires one.
02

MAKE IT USEFUL

Add a login or import your passwords

Create a login with its website, username, and password. Use Passary's password generator for new credentials, then save the record and your Windows vault file.

Moving from another manager? Import supported KeePass KDBX 3/4, Bitwarden, or Google Password Manager exports. Review the result before removing your original vault. Delete temporary unencrypted exports after checking the import.
03

PROTECT YOUR WORK

Make a backup you can open

Keep a separate encrypted vault copy or recovery kit on storage you control. Verify the copy opens with its master password and any required keyfile. One file on one device is not a backup.

Browser-only vaults and snapshots can disappear when browser data is cleared. An in-app snapshot is useful, but it is not a substitute for an external copy.

Make it your daily workspace

Organize logins with folders and tags, keep private notes and other records, and use the password generator when you change credentials. Optional Windows Hello, browser autofill, and sync can come later; none replaces your recovery copy.

Start with one vault

Add one login, save it, and make a separate encrypted copy. That is enough to begin using Passary with confidence.
