Why it matters

In the infolio context

infolio puts sensitive records in encrypted vaults, adds local protection and device authentication, then syncs protected content through the selected sync source.

Examples

  • Separate IDs, contracts, and private records from normal documents.
  • Move sensitive records into vaults before syncing.

FAQ

Does encryption replace device security?

No. Encryption reduces plaintext exposure, but device access, accounts, passwords, and recovery paths still need protection.

Should every note be encrypted?

Not necessarily. Ordinary references can live in normal documents; passwords, IDs, keys, and private records fit encrypted vaults better.
