How long do you keep my unlocked copies?

As long as you choose — 1, 7 or 30 days, or until you delete them. Set it in Settings → Notifications & data.

Should I remove the password after recovering it?

Only if the file no longer needs protecting. If it holds anything sensitive, keep it locked — just store the password safely this time.

A reputable password manager. It’s encrypted, synced across your devices, and means you only remember one master password.

Recovering a password is a relief — but it’s also the perfect moment to make sure you never have to do it again.

A few minutes now saves the next lockout.
