How to Export Your Passwords

A JSON file will be downloaded with all your password data
Store this file in a secure location (encrypted drive, secure cloud storage)
Consider creating multiple backups in different locations

How to Import Your Passwords

Click the "Import" button in the main interface
Select your previously exported JSON file
Confirm the import (this will replace all current data)
Your passwords will be restored

Backup Best Practices

Export your passwords at least once a week
Store backups in encrypted folders or secure cloud storage
Test your backups by importing them occasionally
Keep multiple backup copies in different locations
Never store backup files in plain text on public computers

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

My passwords disappeared

This usually happens when browser data is cleared. Check if you have a recent backup file to import. Consider enabling browser data retention or using a different browser profile for password management.

Import/Export not working

Ensure you're using a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. Check that the JSON file is valid and hasn't been corrupted. Try refreshing the page and attempting the operation again.

Copy to clipboard not working

This feature requires HTTPS or localhost. Some browsers may block clipboard access. Try using a different browser or ensure you're using the tool on a secure connection.

Performance issues with many passwords

The tool is optimized for personal use (hundreds of passwords). For large datasets, consider organizing with categories and using search filters to improve performance.

Filter preferences not being remembered

If your category and favorites filter settings aren't being saved, check if your browser allows localStorage. Some privacy modes or browser extensions may block localStorage functionality. Try disabling private browsing mode.
