How do I set a recovery passphrase in Vozzle?
Open Settings → Encryption and tap Set recovery passphrase, then choose a passphrase of at least 12 characters and confirm it. Vozzle encrypts your notes, meetings, and tasks end-to-end by default, and normally your key lives in your iCloud Keychain — the passphrase is the fallback that lets you unlock your data on a brand-new device, or if you ever lose access to all your Apple devices. Vozzle can't see it or reset it, so store it somewhere safe like a password manager.
Here's how
Open Settings → Encryption
From the Today screen, tap the settings gear, then open Encryption under Data & Privacy. You'll see that end-to-end encryption is already on — your notes, tasks, events, and folders are encrypted on your device before they ever reach Vozzle's servers.
Tap Set recovery passphrase
Under Recovery, tap Set recovery passphrase. This is the backup key for your encrypted data. Right now only your Apple devices can unlock it through iCloud Keychain — the passphrase is what lets you back in if that ever fails.
Choose a strong, memorable passphrase
Enter a passphrase of at least 12 characters and re-enter it to confirm. Longer is stronger — a memorable phrase like “sunset coffee cart purple” beats a short password. Vozzle rejects anything too easy to guess, so mix in some variety.
Write it down and save it
Tap Set passphrase, then store it somewhere safe — a password manager is ideal. This is the one step you can't undo later: Vozzle has no copy, so if you forget it and lose your devices, your encrypted data can't be recovered by anyone, including us.
You can skip this at sign-in and set it later — Vozzle will gently remind you. But do it before you need it: the passphrase only protects data encrypted while it's set, and it's also how you'll decrypt your content when the Android version of Vozzle ships. One minute now saves everything later.
Worth knowing
- Encryption is already onYou don't turn encryption on — Vozzle enables it by default. The passphrase isn't what encrypts your data; it's the recovery key that unlocks it on a device your iCloud Keychain hasn't reached.
- Your key, never oursThe passphrase derives a key that stays on your device. Vozzle's servers only ever see ciphertext they can't read, so there's genuinely nothing on our side to hand over, subpoena, or leak.
- It's your cross-device passportSign in on a new phone that hasn't synced through iCloud Keychain and the passphrase is what unlocks your history. When Vozzle arrives on Android, it's how you'll decrypt everything there too — without one, your data stays iOS-only.
- Change it any timeSet one now and you can rotate it later in Settings → Encryption from any signed-in device. Sharing an item with Bebo Work sends that item unencrypted so your team can read it — everything else stays end-to-end encrypted.
While you're here
What happens if I forget my passphrase?
As long as one of your Apple devices is still signed in and synced through iCloud Keychain, you're fine — you can open Settings → Encryption and change the passphrase to a new one. It's only unrecoverable if you both forget the passphrase and lose access to every synced device at once. Vozzle never has a copy, by design.
Do I need a passphrase if I only use one iPhone?
Your data is encrypted either way. Without a passphrase, your encryption key lives only in your iCloud Keychain — which is great until you lose that device or your iCloud account. The passphrase is cheap insurance: it's the fallback that works when iCloud Keychain can't help, and it'll be required to read your content on Android later.
Can Vozzle reset my passphrase for me?
No. That's the whole point of end-to-end encryption — Vozzle can't read your notes and can't recover your passphrase. Support can help with almost anything else, but not this. Keep it in a password manager so you never have to.
