Overview:
The passwords.txt feature allows users to create an encrypted, human-readable snapshot of their entire credential library. Unlike proprietary database backups, this feature exports data into a structured text format wrapped in military-grade encryption, ensuring that users retain full ownership and portability of their data without compromising security.

The generated passwords.txt file is not plain text. The entire file content is encrypted using AES-256 bit encryption. To access the contents, a user must input a "Master Export Key" defined during the export process. Without this key, the file appears as gibberish binary data, rendering it useless to hackers or unauthorized viewers. passwords.txt
