Passwords are stored on the key fob only. When a password is required for a computer or phone, Hideez Safe
requests it from the key fob, enters the password and immediately removes it from memory. The passwords
are not copied to the cloud, but you can make a copy of the data from the key fob using an encrypted local
file.
Can I make a backup copy of the data from the key fob?
Yes, the Hideez Safe client provides data backup to a local file. The file is encrypted with the password of your
account (the password that you use to launch the program). Then the encrypted file is saved to the disk.
AES256 encryption algorithm in CBC mode is always used.
It is worth mentioning that the key fob and the web service are protected from hacking by brute force attacks.
However, the backup file cannot be fully protected with this level of protection. That is why we highly
recommend keeping the backup file in a safe place (for example, USB flash drive in a safe deposit box). Do not
store it on a hard drive or in the cloud.
