Setting up private titles

What it is for

Before you can hide anything, Kaveo needs a vault: a folder to keep hidden titles in, and a password to lock it with.

How to use it

1. Click the padlock icon in the top bar. With no vault yet, it opens Set up your vault.
2. Vault folder is filled in for you if you already have a library folder — keep it, or pick another with Choose folder…, on the same drive as your films so hiding a title later is instant instead of a copy across drives.
3. Fill in Password and Confirm password, tick Generate a recovery key, then click Create vault — grey until a folder is set and the two passwords match.
4. Write down the recovery key — shown once, with Copy to put it on the clipboard — then tick I have written it down and click Done.

Good to know

• Your password is never stored, not even as a hash. Without it and without the recovery key, nothing inside can ever be opened again — nobody can reset it for you.
• The recovery key unlocks the vault on its own, independently of the password, so keep it somewhere safe.
