NeverLeave: try the vault, then the wrong passphrase
An Android app for encrypting photos, videos, and other files, presented with an in-browser simulation of its vault workflow.
- For
- Android users protecting private files
- Worth noticing
- The page warns that a forgotten passphrase makes files unrecoverable, even by the maker; its demo lets visitors test a wrong one.
Field notes
The page’s simulation walks through selecting items, choosing an encryption strength, setting a passphrase, encrypting, and opening a vault; visitors can intentionally test a wrong passphrase. It explicitly says the browser demo touches no files and encrypts nothing. The page says the Android app uses Argon2id key derivation and 1 MiB authenticated records, and describes ciphertext filenames plus playback that stays inside the app; those are product statements, not independently verified here.
