Common questions

Why $12/year?

Because a password manager isn't a luxury product. $12 covers compute, backups, and bandwidth for one user for a year. We're not trying to extract maximum revenue — we're trying to cover costs and keep the lights on.

Is the self-hosted version missing any features?

No. Every feature ships in both versions. The hosted version adds managed infrastructure, backups, and multi-region — things that are hard to do yourself but have nothing to do with the vault's functionality.

Is there an SLA?

Not at $12/year. We aim for high uptime but don't make contractual guarantees at this price point. If you need an SLA, self-host — then uptime is in your hands.

Can I switch between hosted and self-hosted?

Yes. Export your vault at any time as encrypted JSON. Import it into a self-hosted instance, or vice versa. Your data is always portable.

Can hosted Vault1984 read my L2 data?

No. L2 fields are encrypted client-side with WebAuthn PRF. The server stores ciphertext it cannot decrypt. This isn't a policy decision — it's a mathematical impossibility. We don't have the key.
