That's it! ๐ŸŽ‰ Follow the in-app setup wizard to configure your Supabase database.

๐ŸŒ Try the Demo

Want to try Keyper before installing? Visit our hosted demo:

๐Ÿ”— keyper.pinkpixel.dev

Just enter your own Supabase credentials and start managing your encrypted credentials instantly! Your data stays completely private since all encryption happens in your browser.

Demo Usage:

  • โœ… Completely Secure - Zero-knowledge architecture means your data never leaves your browser
  • โœ… Real Functionality - Full Keyper experience with your own Supabase instance
  • โœ… No Registration - Just bring your Supabase URL and anon key
  • โš ๏ธ Demo Limitations - Recommended for testing and light usage only
  • ๐Ÿ  Self-Host for Production - Install locally for best performance and full control

Note: The demo uses the same secure architecture as self-hosted Keyper. Your Supabase credentials are stored only in your browser's localStorage and never transmitted to our servers.

  • Ensure your Supabase credentials are correct
  • Use the built-in database health checks to verify table integrity

โŒ Multi-user vault conflicts

  • Each user has their own isolated encrypted vault
  • Switch users by changing the username in settings
  • Refresh the page after switching users for proper vault isolation
  • Each user's data is completely separate and encrypted individually

๐Ÿ”‘ Master Passphrase Reset

Forgot your master passphrase? No problem! Your encrypted data is completely safe and you can securely reset your passphrase:

Important: It's not possible to view your current master passphrase, but you can update/change it using our secure bcrypt-based reset system.

๐Ÿ“– Complete Reset Guide: For detailed step-by-step instructions, see our comprehensive Emergency Passphrase Reset Guide

Quick Overview:

  1. Access your Supabase dashboard and navigate to the vault_config table
  2. Generate a new bcrypt hash using your desired new passphrase
  3. Replace the bcrypt_hash value in your database
  4. Login with your new passphrase
