Unlock and lock your Vault

Your Vault opens only with your Vault Pass. Once unlocked, it stays open in that browser tab until you lock it, it locks itself, or you close the tab.

#Unlock your Vault

1. In the left rail, click Vault.

   The unlock screen shows the name of the vault (My Vault unless you renamed it) and the message Enter your Vault Pass to continue and unlock your content.

2. In Vault Pass, type your Vault Pass.

3. Click Unlock content.

   

If the Vault Pass is refused, see If it doesn't work.

In Drime Desktop for Windows and in the Drime mobile apps, you unlock your Vault with the same Vault Pass. See Vault on your computer and phone.

#How long it stays unlocked

The Vault stays unlocked in the tab where you opened it. Reloading the page does not ask for the Vault Pass again. It locks when:

• you lock it yourself;

• it locks itself after a period of inactivity (15 minutes by default);

• you close the tab, sign out, switch to another workspace or leave the Vault.

The web app has no option to keep a vault unlocked on a device.

#Lock your Vault now

• In the Vault toolbar, click the lock button (Lock vault).

• Or click the vault title, at the top of the sidebar, to open the list of your vaults, then click Lock. With several vaults, Lock all vaults locks them all at once.

The list shows each vault as Locked or Unlocked. When a vault locks, its decrypted thumbnails, file details and search index are cleared from your browser's memory.

#Choose when it locks itself

1. In the Vault toolbar, click the gear button (Vault settings).

   It opens Settings > Vault. You can also click your avatar at the top right, then Settings > Vault. The palette button in the list of your vaults has the same tooltip, but it only changes the name and colour of a vault.

2. In Vault security, choose a delay in Auto-lock.

   

   The choices are Never, After 1 minute, After 5 minutes, After 15 minutes, After 30 minutes and After 1 hour.

   Auto-lock locks every open vault.

3. If you want, turn on Lock when leaving the tab.

   The Vault then locks as soon as you switch to another tab or minimize the window. This option is off by default.

When auto-lock is triggered, the message Vault locked after inactivity appears.

#Several vaults

Each vault has its own Vault Pass and is unlocked separately. Unlocking one does not unlock the others.
