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.
What you need
| Tier | Free |
| Vault state | Unlocked |
| Network | Offline — scans run on device |
| Feature toggle | Vault health and/or Duplicate warnings under Feature controls |
Steps
Enable Vault health
- Open Settings → Preferences → Feature controls (
https://se.nt2.me/settings/preferences/featureControls). - Turn on Vault health if it is off (default off for new vaults).
- Open Settings → Vault & sync → Vault health (
https://se.nt2.me/settings/vault/health). - Run or review the credential hygiene scan. Findings appear with severity; dismissals are stored locally per finding kind.
Read dashboard warnings
- Return to the Dashboard after a scan.
- Health cards summarize open findings (weak patterns, stale entries, travel-filtered items when applicable).
- Tap a card to jump to the item or health detail—plaintext never leaves your device.
Enable duplicate warnings
- In Feature controls, turn on Duplicate warnings (separate toggle from Vault health).
- Open Settings → Preferences → Duplicate warnings (
https://se.nt2.me/settings/preferences/duplicateWarnings) when you want to adjust behavior. - While creating or editing assets, NT² compares normalized fields (usernames, URLs, card last-four, etc.) and shows a hint when a possible duplicate exists.
- Warnings are advisory—you confirm every save; NT² never auto-merges items.
Dismiss or act on findings
- On the Vault health page, open a finding and choose Dismiss if the match is intentional (shared family login, rotated password kept for history).
- Edit or delete the underlying item when the finding is valid.
- 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.
