What you can store
- Name: A recognizable name for the account (e.g., "Gmail", "Bank Account")

- Password: Your account password
- Notes: Additional information about the account (optional)

Best practices
- Use unique passwords: Store a different password for each account
- Update regularly: Keep your stored credentials up to date
- Add notes: Include helpful information like security questions, recovery emails, or website URLs
- Organize with collections: Group related accounts together (e.g., "Work", "Banking", "Social Media")
When to use Locker vs. a password manager
Locker works alongside your password manager rather than replacing it:
- Your password manager is for everyday accounts and daily logins with browser autofill
- Ente Locker is for your most important accounts—the ones you can't afford to lose access to
Use Locker for accounts like banking, primary email, and critical services. These credentials are protected by end-to-end encryption and can be passed on to family through Legacy if needed. Your password manager handles the rest.
