🔐 FyxxVault - Secure passwords kept in your control

FyxxVault stores your passwords and private data. It uses strong encryption to keep your information safe from outside access. This software ensures that only you hold the keys to your data. No one else, including the developers, can read your passwords.

🛡️ Why use FyxxVault

Most password managers store your data on their servers. They hold the keys to that data. FyxxVault changes this approach. It uses zero-knowledge encryption. This means your vault stays encrypted on your device. The software encrypts your data before it leaves your computer.

You gain control over your digital identity. The system uses AES-256-GCM encryption. This is a standard for security in the tech industry. It also uses PBKDF2 with 210,000 iterations to protect your master password against brute-force attacks.

⚙️ System Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• 4 GB of RAM
• 200 MB of free disk space
• Reliable internet connection for syncing

🔑 Your first vault

When you open FyxxVault for the first time, you need to create a vault. A vault is a private container for your passwords.

1. Choose a strong master password. This password acts as your only key. Write it down and keep it in a secure location.
2. If you lose this password, you cannot recover your data. The zero-knowledge design prevents password resets.
3. Click "Create Vault" to generate your encryption keys.
4. You can now add your first login entry. Click the plus icon to save a website name, username, and password.

🧠 Security best practices

Zero-knowledge encryption works only if your master password remains secret. Follow these habits to keep your data safe.

• Use a unique master password for FyxxVault. Do not use the same password for other websites.
• Use a passphrase consisting of four or more random words.
• Enable the screen lock feature in the settings menu. This locks the vault when you step away from your keyboard.
• Regularly back up your vault file to a secure offline drive.

📱 Frequently asked questions

Does this software track my activity? No. FyxxVault does not collect user data. There is no tracking or telemetry hidden in the code.

Can I access my passwords on other devices? Yes. You can install the iOS app or the Chrome extension. Both tools connect to your vault using the same encryption standards.

Is this service free? Yes. The software is open-source. You do not pay for subscriptions or storage.

What happens if I forget my master password? Your data remains locked forever. The system does not store a copy of your password. Always store a backup of your data in a physical, secure location like a fireproof safe.

How do I update the software? When a new version releases, download the installer again from the link provided above. The installer will replace the old files while keeping your vault data intact.

🛠️ Advanced setup options

If you have technical interest, you can self-host the backend. FyxxVault uses Supabase for data syncing. You can point the application to your own server instance if you prefer total independence from the public cloud.

Open the settings menu and navigate to "Advanced". Here you can input your custom server link. This allows you to manage the infrastructure that holds your encrypted sync data. For most users, the default settings work best.

📞 Support and feedback

Contact the community if you encounter issues. Open an issue on the GitHub page to report bugs. Keep your password confidential when describing errors. Do not share your vault file or decryption keys with anyone. The maintainers will never ask for your master password.

Your privacy remains the priority. The code is open for anyone to review. You can verify the security of the application by reading the source code on the repository page. This transparency ensures that the software performs exactly as described.
