How your data is protected
What is encrypted, what the server knows, and why nobody can recover your password.
Musubi Vault encrypts on your device. Your master password never leaves it: your browser turns it into a key, slowly on purpose, and that key opens your private key. The server only ever holds your keys wrapped — encrypted — and your entries as ciphertext it cannot open.
What the server cannot see
- The content of your entries: passwords, usernames, notes, one-time codes.
- The URLs of your entries — which is why matching and searching happen in your browser.
- Your master password.
What the server does know
- Who you are: the identity you sign in with, and your email address.
- The names of accounts and collections, which are stored in the clear.
- Who has access to which collection, and with which permission.
- The activity log: who did what and when.
What follows from that
- Nobody can recover your master password, or open your vault without it.
- Sharing is done with keys: when you grant a collection, your browser wraps its key for the other person. Nobody decrypts anything on your behalf.
- Removing access stops future syncs, but a copy that already reached a device cannot be taken back. That is why the app asks you to rotate passwords.
- Each device keeps its own encrypted copy, per account.
What we collect and what we do not, including what the browser extension stores, is on the Privacy page.
