Use more than one vault

Keep separate vaults on one device, each with its own master password, and switch between them.

One device can hold several vaults, for example one for work and one for personal use. Each vault has its own master password, recovery code, entries, synced devices and backups.

Create another vault

  1. Lock your vault with the lock button at the top of Bramble.
  2. On the unlock screen, choose Create another vault. If you already have several vaults, choose Choose a different vault, then Create new vault at the end of the list.
  3. On Add a vault, give it a Vault name if you like, then set its master password.
  4. Choose Create vault and save the new vault’s recovery code.

The other tabs work here too:

  • Restore from backup adds the backup as a new, locked vault. It never replaces a vault you already have. Unlock it with the backup’s master password.
  • Join a device adds a vault from another device. If this device already has that vault, Bramble opens it instead of adding a copy.

Switch vaults

The open vault’s name is shown next to Bramble at the top. To switch:

  1. Lock your vault with the lock button.
  2. Choose Choose a different vault.
  3. Under Choose a vault to unlock, pick a vault and unlock it.

Rename a vault

Open Settings → General and change Vault name. The new name shows on every device in the vault’s sync group.

A vault without a name shows as Vault 1, Vault 2 and so on, by its place in the list.

Delete a vault

  1. Open the vault you want to delete.
  2. Open Settings → General and choose Delete this vault.
  3. Enter the vault’s master password, or confirm with your security key if the vault has no master password.
  4. Choose Delete this vault.

This deletes the vault and its files from this device only. Your other devices keep their copy. If it was your only vault, Bramble goes back to the welcome screen.

Vaults and sync

Each vault syncs on its own, with its own devices. Adding a device to one vault doesn’t add it to the others.

  • To add a device to a vault, open that vault, then go to Settings → Sync. See Add a device.
  • A vault syncs only while it’s unlocked. A vault you haven’t opened for a while catches up the next time you unlock it.
  • Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint and security keys are set up for each vault separately, in Settings → Security.
