Encryption subsection

When E2EE is on you will see:

  • Recovery phrase — saved or not saved; opens phrase flow
  • Unlock encrypted data — when this device is locked
  • Complete phrase setup — when account has no escrow
  • Enable / Disable E2EE — with data-loss warnings on disable

See E2EE unlock & key escrow.

Storage connections

Connect your own cloud (S3-compatible, WebDAV, Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud) for attachments and scheduled backups — not the same as Expense Trail sync.
