The macOS client of Password Depot stores your databases and the backup files created by Password Depot in two different locations. This article shows where to find the files – for example, for your own data backup or when moving to a new Mac.
Databases
By default, the macOS client stores your password databases in the Documents folder of your user account. If you deliberately saved or opened a database in a different location, that location applies instead.
Backups
The backup files, by contrast, are not located in the "Documents" folder but in the Password Depot app container under Library/Containers in your home folder. This area is hidden in the Finder by default. To get there:
Open the Finder.
Hold down the Option key (⌥) and open the Go menu – the otherwise hidden Library entry appears.
In it, open the Containers folder and look for the Password Depot entry.
Alternatively, choose Go → Go to Folder … (Shift-Command-G) and enter ~/Library/Containers. (The ~ character represents your personal home folder.)
Note: For your own backup or a move to a new Mac, primarily back up your database files from the Documents folder (or the location you chose yourself). The backup files in the container are additional fallback copies; do not change or move the contents of the container while Password Depot is running.
Note: The same container also holds the client's cache (folder "Network"). Renaming it is a proven step for connection problems with the Enterprise Server – see "Related topics".
