Add Databases

To create a new database, proceed as follows:

  • Open the Home section by clicking on Home.
  • Click New database.
  • Name the new database. 
  • Choose the storage location by clicking on the drop-down menu or on + New if the storage location should not yet be displayed. You can choose from the following:
    • Internet Server (FTP / WebDav / HTTP)
    • Dropbox
    • Google Drive
    • Microsoft OneDrive
    • Microsoft OneDrive for Business
    • Box Cloud
    • HiDrive Cloud
  • Click on Next >, to proceed with the creation of the database. 
  • Encryption options: Choose a primary password, a primary password and a key file or only a key file.
    • When choosing an authentication method that uses a primary password, enter a desired primary password or generate one with the master password generator by clicking the star symbol. Re-enter the primary password. Its quality will be displayed below. Enter a hint for your primary password, if desired. Additionally, you can check if your master password is found in Pwned databases, which contain credentials that are known to have been breached.
    • When choosing an authentication method that uses a key file, you can either search for an existing key file by clicking the folder symbol or generate a new key file by clicking the star symbol.
  • Click Next > when you are done.
  • Lastly, you are able to enter any Comments or Decryption hints to the database description which may help you remember your primary password if it may have been forgotten. 
  • Click on Finish to finalize the creation of the database. 

WARNING: If you forget your master password and have not entered a hint that might help you, there is no way to access your database!

NOTE: If you only use a key file to authenticate, always be sure to keep it in a secure location. Otherwise, anyone who has access to your key file will have access to your database.
