SecureNote is the core feature of SecureVault, securely storing sensitive information with AES-256-GCM encryption. This guide walks you through everything from creating to managing memos.
Step 1: Access the Memo Page
Click 'SecureNote' in the top navigation, or click 'New Memo' from the dashboard. Login is required. You can also navigate directly to /memo.
Step 2: Create a New Memo
Click the 'New Memo' button on the dashboard or the '+' button on the memo page. Enter a title and content. Markdown formatting is supported for bold text, lists, code blocks, and more.
Step 3: Set Encryption Password
Enter an encryption password when saving. This password is never stored on the server and is required every time you open the memo. If you forget it, the memo cannot be recovered.
Step 4: Open a Memo (Decrypt)
Click a memo in the list to see the password dialog. Enter the password you set during creation. The memo is decrypted in your browser. If the password is wrong, decryption will fail.
Step 5: Edit and Delete
Click the edit button on an open memo to modify content. After saving, it's re-encrypted with the same password. Click delete to permanently remove a memo after confirmation. Deleted memos cannot be recovered.
Step 6: Organize and Manage
Create folders to categorize memos. Add tags to group by topic. Use favorites for quick access to frequently used memos. Search by title or tag to find memos quickly.
