Q&A:

1. What if I forgot my password?

If you have a security Email set up before, you should be able to see a "Forgot Password" en-trance once you input the wrong password. Tap on the entrance and follow the instructions to reset your password.

If you do not have a security Email but you had backed up your data to cloud space, then the data can be recovered from the cloud by reinstalling Vault app.


2. How do I enter vault in stealth mode?

In stealth mode, you can enter Vault:

1. Put Vault back to the phone’s home screen by adding Vault widget, once it appears on home screen, tap on it, and then input your password to enter, or,

2. Download "NQ calculator" in Google Play, open it, and input correct password then tap "=".


3. Why are my photos/videos lost?

Some cleaning or free storage apps may automatically delete Vault’s data folder used to store pictures and videos. So, as a best practice, please do not choose to delete Vault’s data folder and subfolders (mnt/sdcard/SystemAndroid) when you use such apps.

You can also backup your sms, pictures and videos to cloud by using "Cloud Backup" feature in the premium page of Vault.

After the backup, you won’t have to worry about accidentally deleting stored pic-tures/videos/sms or other data, and you can always restore data from the cloud whenever you need.

Was a good app. Idk what happened, if it's a glitch from a recent update or what, but now it will freeze and stop responding when I look at pictures that are stored, and some of the videos I have stored have become corrupted and can't be viewed. Even if I move them back to my regular phone gallery they are still corrupted. Don't think I'll keep paying the monthly until this gets fixed. Not thrilled

I have used this app for almost a decade, every couple years the price seems to go up, but the app has gotten glitchier the past few years. Also I can't get my account to bind to my email, the cloud backup and restore doesn't work properly. When I restored everything to my new phone there was a bunch of stuff missing so I ran restore again and I think I got most of my stuff on my new phone now but I have duplicates of alot of stuff now. Wish there was a website to access the cloud to manage it

Well...apparently they went all in on show as many adds as possible! Login watch an ad...click into a video and back out of it watch another add. I watched 2 10+ second adds in the first 60 seconds...Now the supposed fixed crash issue shows me adds just after logging in, click into a section...heres an add. Try to look at a pic or a video...heres an add. I watch more adds in this app then I look at my stuff that is vaulted!!! Looking for a new app to use because this on is almost useless now!

Dear user, Thank you for using Vault and sorry for your inconvenience. Technical staff found a crashed problem on some phone models, they have fixed it, please update new version in Google Play and try again. Would you mind rating us 5 stars? That would be very encouraging for us. Best regards!
