Account recovery

Forgotten password, change of address, access from another machine.

Forgotten password

From the sign-in screen, the "Forgot your password?" link sends an e-mail containing a validation link, valid for one hour. Once clicked, the application lets you set a new password.

Your vault stays readable after this. That is possible because our server handles your encryption key at that precise moment — the trade-off we set out on the "What we don't claim" page.

Signing in from another computer

No vault content is stored on your machine: install SafeTale on the new one and sign in, everything is there.

Your display preferences — theme, language — are local, however, and will need setting again.

Changing your e-mail address

This is not yet available in the application. Write to us from the account's current address and we will change it.

It is deliberately handled by hand: the e-mail address is what allows a password reset, and therefore opening the vault. We prefer a slow, verified operation to a quick form.

Deleting your account

Also manual for now. Write to us from the account's address; we carry out the erasure and confirm it, within one month at most in accordance with the GDPR.

Exporting your data does not exist yet: remember to copy what matters elsewhere BEFORE asking for deletion.
