GitPassword FAQ

Security, Git sync, recovery, platform support, and Microsoft Store distribution.

Is GitPassword a cloud password manager?

No. GitPassword is a Windows desktop GUI app. Vault content is encrypted locally and stored in the Git repository you choose.

Do I need a GitBraints account to use the vault?

The vault workflow is based on your local app password and your Git repository credentials. A GitBraints website account is not required for storing readable vault content.

What can my Git provider see?

A Git provider can see encrypted vault objects and normal Git metadata such as commit times, branch names, object sizes, and repository access logs. It should not receive readable passwords, notes, or file contents from GitPassword.

What is encrypted?

Passwords, secure notes, and file contents are encrypted before they are written to the Git-backed vault. Some operational metadata remains visible through Git, including commit history and object sizes.

What happens if I forget my master password?

GitPassword does not keep a server-side plaintext copy of your vault. If the password and local recovery material are lost, the encrypted vault cannot be recovered by GitBraints.

How does sync work?

GitPassword writes encrypted vault data into a local Git repository, then syncs with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted Git, or a local repository path you configure.

How are conflicts handled?

When multiple devices change the vault, GitPassword uses Git history and sync state to help you resolve conflicts and return to earlier encrypted vault versions when needed.

Where do I download GitPassword for Windows?

The Windows version is being prepared for Microsoft Store distribution. The download page will point to the Store listing once it is live.

Are macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS supported?

The current public focus is Windows. Other platforms are planned, but the website only presents Windows as the current supported distribution target.
