Where Does Passy Store Vaults on Android?
Where Passy keeps encrypted vault files on Android, and how to move them safely to a new phone.
Last updated
Passy keeps passwords in encrypted vault files you place yourself, plus app settings in private storage. There is no account and no cloud; the vault file is the whole database.
Export through the app rather than digging in private storage. The file travels through any channel while the password travels separately. Losing the password loses the vault regardless of copies, so record recovery details during setup.

/storage/emulated/0/Download/Passy
Encrypted vault files you place and name yourself. Settings stay in private storage. Export in-app; uninstalls wipe everything not exported.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Passy passwords to a new phone?
Use the in-app backup to write an encrypted vault file, then move that file off the phone. The backup plus your password restores everything. Uninstalling wipes app storage, so export before removing the app.
Is the Passy backup file safe in cloud storage?
The vault file holds encrypted entries; the password opens it. Anyone with both owns the data, either alone is useless. Sync the file through any cloud drive and keep the password apart from it.
