How to Store Contacts with Passwarden Securely

Ever received an email or a message from someone, asking you to resend your contact details again as their phone died or was lost? In case your phone’s address book is the only storage of your contacts, losing the device may mean losing all your items. 

 

This said it’s a good practice to backup your contacts list. A better practice is to use a secure contact app to keep your data safe from any third parties. Especially if you have some sensitive contacts you wouldn’t want to leak.

 

Protecting your contacts is absolutely crucial if, for example, you are a journalist. The consequences of others getting access to email accounts or phones of your contacts and sources may be drastic. So having a secure app to store contacts details is a must. 

Passwarden implements client-side encryption using AES-256 and Elliptic Curve secp384r1 protocol. All the way through the syncing process your items remain encrypted using the mentioned algorithms. Moreover, the secure HTTPS protocol is used during the data transfer, which provides an additional layer of security.

On our servers, your items are also stored in encrypted form and the decryption is only possible locally, on your gadget. This means that we can’t read any of your Passwarden details and your private data remains absolutely private! Read more to learn about our encryption.
