Explanation
Ensuring the security of your encryption key is paramount to safeguarding your personal vault and its contents. To maintain its security, it's important to store your encryption key in a safe and secure location, known only to you. Avoid sharing your encryption key with anyone else and refrain from storing it in easily accessible or unsecured locations. Additionally, consider using a strong and unique passphrase for your encryption key to further enhance its security.
Please note that myQNAPcloud does not store or have access to your encryption key. As a result, if you forgot your encryption key, it cannot be recovered or reset by myQNAPcloud. In such cases, you may not be able to access your encrypted data within the personal vault. Therefore, it's crucial to keep your encryption key secure and remember to ensure continued access to your encrypted files. Regularly backing up your encryption key in a secure location can also serve as a precautionary measure against potential data loss.
