What Is an Encrypted Vault in infolio?
Define encrypted vaults and explain how they differ from ordinary documents in a personal knowledge base.

- Individuals keep IDs, contracts, memberships, and household records in vaults.
- Project docs stay in the document library while sensitive fields move to vaults.

FAQ
Can an encrypted vault replace enterprise password management?
No. It is for personal records. Enterprise production credentials should use dedicated access and key-management systems.
