Create encrypted vault
Simple by default. Cascade Lock is available for high-security use.
Cascade Lock 1 passphrase
Every passphrase is required in the exact order shown. Vortex has no recovery key and no password reset mechanism.
Cascade Lock
Enter passphrase 1.
Passphrase 1 of 1
Each step performs its own million-round derivation. No step reveals whether a passphrase was correct.
Change vault protection
Re-encrypt every record with a new ordered passphrase cascade.
New Cascade Lock 1 passphrase
This replaces the current unlock credentials. The new passphrases are required in this exact order. Keep independent backups before changing protection.
