Security works better when nothing hides in the small print
Questions about Amtsprofil
Password, recovery, sync and limits: clearly answered before you store anything.
1:Is the Amtsprofil password my account password?+
No. It is a separate password just for the Amtsprofil vault. It is never sent to the login or to the server, and you should save it as a separate entry in your password manager.
2:Where is my Amtsprofil data stored?+
Your browser encrypts the profile. Only the unreadable envelope is linked to your Werkzeu.ge account and stored on our servers. Password, key and plaintext never leave your browser.
3:Can Werkzeu.ge recover my Amtsprofil?+
We cannot recover the plaintext or the password. If you only clear your browser data or switch devices, the encrypted envelope stays in your account and opens again with your password. If you forget the password, your recovery kit helps, as long as you created one beforehand: under "Forgot your password?" you choose the kit file, type in the code and set a new password. This happens only in your browser, and you get back the state the kit had when you created it. Without a kit the data cannot be recovered, and the only option left is to delete the Amtsprofil and start over. Your account, files, billing and the separate Aktenschrank vault are not affected.
4:Is Amtsprofil synced between devices?+
Yes. Signed-in browsers load the same encrypted envelope from your account. Decryption still happens only in the browser, after you enter the separate Amtsprofil password.
5:What happens with "Fill from Amtsprofil"?+
The separate password is asked for every single time. Decryption and matching happen in the browser. After that the key is discarded. If you change a filled-in field in the tool, that does not change your vault automatically.
6:Are all 65 fields required?+
No. Every field is optional. You only store details you want to reuse regularly, and you can remove stored fields in the editor again.
7:What does Amtsprofil cost?+
The full end-to-end encrypted editor, including account sync, comes with the free account. Deliberately filling details into supported Plus features is included in Plus from €13.99 per month. The binding conditions are shown on the order page.
8:What does the encryption not protect against?+
It protects the stored vault in your browser. It does not replace a secure device. Malware, compromised browser extensions or other people with access to an already unlocked browser can get around this protection.
