What does “zero-knowledge” mean?
Zero-knowledge means MYKEYNEST never has access to your data in plain text. Your passwords are encrypted locally before being sent to our servers.
In short: Even if our servers were hacked, attackers would only see unusable encrypted data.
How does it work?
- You enter your master password.
- It is derived into a key using
PBKDF2— never sent to the server. - The key decrypts your data locally after it’s fetched from our servers.
What this implies
We cannot recover your master password if you lose it. Set up emergency recovery in your Settings.
Keep your master password in a safe physical place.
