Add a second device by pairing it directly with one you already hold. Pairing is a short, fixed handshake — exactly five messages, no optional branches — over an authenticated channel, and it moves key material only between your own devices.
The threat it solves
Cloud sync widens your trust surface: another server, another account, another breach path, another party that could be compelled. Pairing keeps a second device in the loop without adding any of that.
How it works
- Pair. Put both devices into pairing mode, close together.
- Handshake. They run the fixed, authenticated five-message exchange (X25519 under the hood).
- Carry the vault. The master key moves device-to-device; the container itself travels as an export.
The key difference
Keys cross between your own devices over an authenticated channel — never through someone else's server. And we're honest about status: the pairing transport is specified and being built on real hardware, a designed path we don't call delivered until it ships.
Questions
Through a server?
No — a direct, authenticated handshake between your own devices.
Does it move my files?
It moves key material; the container travels separately as an export. A second device needs both.
