Vault health

Last updated: 28 Jun 2026

Optional—Settings → Health and duplicate-warning preferences.

Who this is for

Users who want local hygiene scans, dashboard warnings, and save-time hints for possible duplicate credentials—without sending vault content to NT² servers.

Steps

Enable Vault health

  1. Open Settings → Preferences → Feature controls (https://se.nt2.me/settings/preferences/featureControls).
  2. Turn on Vault health if it is off (default off for new vaults).
  3. Open Settings → Vault & sync → Vault health (https://se.nt2.me/settings/vault/health).
  4. Run or review the credential hygiene scan. Findings appear with severity; dismissals are stored locally per finding kind.

Read dashboard warnings

  1. Return to the Dashboard after a scan.
  2. Health cards summarize open findings (weak patterns, stale entries, travel-filtered items when applicable).
  3. Tap a card to jump to the item or health detail—plaintext never leaves your device.

Enable duplicate warnings

  1. In Feature controls, turn on Duplicate warnings (separate toggle from Vault health).
  2. Open Settings → Preferences → Duplicate warnings (https://se.nt2.me/settings/preferences/duplicateWarnings) when you want to adjust behavior.
  3. While creating or editing assets, NT² compares normalized fields (usernames, URLs, card last-four, etc.) and shows a hint when a possible duplicate exists.
  4. Warnings are advisory—you confirm every save; NT² never auto-merges items.

Dismiss or act on findings

  1. On the Vault health page, open a finding and choose Dismiss if the match is intentional (shared family login, rotated password kept for history).
  2. Edit or delete the underlying item when the finding is valid.
  3. Dismissals persist in local SQLite; re-scan may surface new issues after imports or sync merges.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Vault health and duplicate warnings are independent toggles—enable one or both depending on whether you want passive scans vs inline save hints.
  • Scans respect Travel Mode filters—hidden items may not appear in health results while traveling.
  • Neither feature uploads field values to the cloud; only local metadata drives matching.
  • After large CSV import or backup import, run health again—duplicate hints are common immediately after migration.
