The vault holds credentials on your Clouduxe account: API keys, SFTP logins, root passwords, anything you would otherwise keep in a note on your desktop. You store an entry once and reveal it when you need it.
What the encryption means
Read this before you put anything in.
Secrets are sent to be stored encrypted, and are decrypted when you ask for one, on an authenticated request tied to your account. The decryption happens on the server, not in your browser, and there is no separate vault passphrase, so this is not end-to-end encryption. Any signed-in session on your account can reveal any entry, which is why two-factor authentication matters more once you start using the vault.
Adding an entry
Choose Add entry. The dialog Add a vault entry takes two fields, both required:
- Name, what the entry is, for example "Production database password". This is the only part shown in the list, so name it for what it opens.
- Secret, the value itself.
Choose Save. The entry appears in the list with the date it was added, and the panel confirms with "Vault entry saved."
Revealing a secret
Choose Reveal on the entry. The Vault secret dialog fetches the value and shows it as bullets until you choose Show. Copy puts it on your clipboard, and Done closes the dialog, which clears the value from the page.
Each reveal fetches the secret again, and closing the dialog clears it from the page, so the value is not held there between two reveals.
Removing an entry
Use the trash button on the entry. The dialog Delete vault entry? names what is going, and confirming with Yes, remove deletes it.
