Web Vault
The SyVault web vault is the full-featured management interface for your encrypted data. Access it at vault.syvault.com from any modern browser. All encryption and decryption happen locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API.
Layout
The web vault uses a three-panel layout:
-
Sidebar (left) -- Navigation between vaults, folders, record types, and settings. Collapsible on smaller screens. Displays your vault list with item counts and a quick-access section for favorites and recently used records.
-
Record List (center) -- A scrollable list of records in the current view. Each row shows the record name, username (for logins), the associated URL favicon, and a strength indicator. Click a record to open it in the detail panel.
-
Detail Panel (right) -- Displays the full record with all fields. Inline editing, copy-to-clipboard buttons on each field, a password visibility toggle, and the TOTP live code (with countdown ring) for login records. The panel slides in from the right with a smooth transition.
Command Palette
Press Cmd+K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open the command palette. This is the fastest way to find anything:
- Search records by name, username, or URL.
- Jump to sections: type "settings," "import," "generator," or "security dashboard."
- Quick actions: "new login," "new note," "lock vault," "enable travel mode."
Results appear as you type with fuzzy matching. Press Enter to navigate to the top result, or use arrow keys to select.
Fill Bar
The Fill Bar sits at the top of the record list and provides tabbed quick-access to your most-used record types:
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| Passwords | Login records, sorted by most recently used |
| Cards | Payment cards with masked card numbers |
| Addresses | Identity records for form filling |
Click any item in the Fill Bar to copy its primary field (password, card number, or address) to your clipboard. The clipboard is automatically cleared after 30 seconds.
Search, Filter, and Sort
- Search: The search box at the top of the record list filters records in real-time across name, username, URL, and notes.
- Filter: Dropdown filters for record type, vault, folder, and tags.
- Sort: Sort by name (A-Z, Z-A), date created, date modified, or most recently used.
Record Types
The web vault supports all 11 SyVault record types. See Record Types for a complete reference. Create a new record by clicking the + button in the sidebar or using the Cmd+K palette.
