Encryptr is a No Knowledge cloud storage software that encrypts your personal sensitive data such as passwords, credit card data, PINs, and access codes in the cloud. Encryptr ensures that only the user has the ability to access or read the confidential information. Not even the app's developers, the cloud storage provider, or any third party can access your data.
Encryptr only ever encrypts or decrypts your data locally on your device. No plain text is ever sent to the server, not even your passphrase.

MAKE AN ACCOUNT
- Open the desktop application.
- Choose the ‘Register for an account’ option.
- Choose a username and a password.
- The username must be alphanumeric, but the password can be any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Keep in mind the password is your defense against those trying to get access to all of the data stored within the Encryptr program, so we recommend using a strong password that is a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Click the ‘Register’ button to proceed.
ADD A PASSWORD
First launch Encryptr and log in. Click on the ‘+’ symbol in the top right corner of the screen. This will give you three options to choose from. Select the password option and fill out your password entry.

This is the name of the password that will be displayed on the front page of your Encryptr program. Giving it a descriptive name will help you remember which passwords belong to what.
USERNAME
This is the username field for your login credentials. This field is optional to fill out but is generally recommended in order to ensure you are always using the correct username when trying to log in.
PASSWORD
In this field you will see what appears to be a combination of several different characters. This is a highly secure, randomly generated password that Encryptr generated for your use. It is generally recommended that you use this password if possible. If the password is not valid for the site you are trying to use, you can delete the text and type in your own password or modify it accordingly.
SITE URL
This is an optional field but is once again recommended as it allows for your own verification that the credentials you are typing in actually match the site you are trying to access.
