Biometrics

You can enable the Biometrics available on your device for fast and secure access to your Affinidi Vault.

Backup Affinidi Vault data

The Affinidi Vault provides two options to back up your Affinidi Vault data:

• Local Backup: An encrypted JSON file is generated and downloaded to your machine if you select a local backup.
• Cloud Backup: If you select Cloud Backup, Affinidi Vault will send an email with the Backup ID and details on restoring and deleting the backup.

Security settings

Set up your Affinidi Vault passphrase to secure your data. The passphrase is used to restore the backup and is an alternative way to unlock your Affinidi Vault if Biometrics is disabled.

Passphrase reset

Passphrase reset provides a mechanism for users to seamlessly and securely recover access to their Affinidi Vault.

On the Affinidi Vault’s settings page, you can download PDF files containing a QR code and secret phrases. These files must be securely stored and/or distributed to trusted parties or devices.

Delete Affinidi Vault data

You have the option to delete your Affinidi Vault data, which is securely stored on your device if you wish. Ensure you have generated a backup to restore the previous data before deleting your Affinidi Vault data.

To delete your Affinidi Vault data from the current device, go to the Settings page, click the Delete vault section and enter your passphrase to confirm.

This action can’t be undone. All your data, including settings and personal content, will be permanently deleted.

Restore Affinidi Vault backup

You can restore the encrypted Affinidi Vault backup using one of the two options when setting up your Affinidi Vault.

• Restore from the JSON file you downloaded as a backup.
• Restore from Cloud Backup using the Backup ID sent to your email when you back up using Cloud.
