Cloud sync

You can store your keychain in cloud storage to access the same keychain from several devices (PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets). You can also edit your keychain on every connected device, e.g. add new entries or change entries.

The keychain is uploaded in encrypted form and only decrypted on your own devices. The cloud provider has no access to the contents of your keychain.

Cloud sync works with Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and MagentaCLOUD. Cloud sync is not available in the free version from the Microsoft Store; it is part of Premium.

Setting it up

To set up cloud sync, click "Synchronize" (cloud icon) at the bottom of the sidebar on the left, or select "File" → "Cloud connection..." in the menu bar. The "Cloud connection" window opens.

On the selection screen, choose the provider you want to use.

After you have chosen a provider, its sign-in page opens in your default browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox). Sign in with your user account and then return to the Password Manager (either by clicking the Password Manager icon in the taskbar or by pressing Alt+Tab).

Sync is now set up. The cloud icon at "Synchronize" now shows a check mark, and the "Cloud connection" window shows the connected cloud account under "User name".

Using the keychain on another PC

Once the keychain is synced with the cloud storage, you can open it on any other PC.

First install the Password Manager on the other PC and set up cloud sync exactly as on the first PC.

Then select "File" → "Open keychain..." in the program's menu bar.

Your keychain now appears in the list of available keychains. A cloud icon and the hint "In your cloud — downloads when opened" show that this keychain is in the cloud storage but not yet on this PC.

Select the keychain and click "Open keychain". The keychain is downloaded and you are asked for the password. Enter the password and click "OK" to open the keychain. You can then use and edit the keychain on both PCs. Changes to the keychain are synced between both devices automatically as long as cloud sync is set up.

Turning off cloud sync

To turn off cloud sync, open the Password Manager's settings (click "Settings" at the bottom of the sidebar on the left, or select "Edit" → "Settings" in the menu bar), choose the "Cloud connection" category and click "Disconnect from [provider]", e.g. "Disconnect from Microsoft OneDrive". The same option is also in the "Cloud connection" window ("File" → "Cloud connection...").
