Docs / Obsidian Vault / Using your vault

Your vault

This chapter walks through the web vault at https://vault.obsidiansuite.net. The browser extension and the apps show the same vault in a smaller space.

The menu on the left has:

All items and Favourites.
Types: logins, cards, identities, secure notes and SSH keys.
Folders: choose + to make one. Use a slash to nest folders: "Work/Banking" sits inside "Work".
Shared with me: items other people shared with you.
Organizations you belong to, each with its collections (see Families and teams).
Trash.
Tools at the bottom: the password generator, the security dashboard, sharing, emergency access, organizations, import, export and settings.

Finding things

The search box at the top looks in names, usernames, websites and notes as you type. Press / to jump to it.

Press Ctrl+K for the command palette: type a few letters of any item or page and press Enter to open it.

Quick buttons

Point at an item in the list to see its quick buttons: copy the username, copy the password, copy the 6-digit verification code, and open the website.

Copied passwords and codes are cleared from the clipboard after 30 seconds. Change that in Settings > Preferences.

Opening an item

Click an item to open it on the right. There you can reveal and copy secrets, see the live verification code count down, open its websites, and see its passkeys, custom fields, notes, attached files and old passwords.

The item's ... menu moves it to a folder or to an organization, shares it with a person, makes a copy, or moves it to the trash.

Editing

Choose Edit. Every kind of item can be edited. The password box has a strength meter and a wand button that makes a strong password with the generator.

Tick Ask for my master password before showing secrets to protect an especially sensitive item further.

If the same item was changed somewhere else while you were editing (on your phone, or by someone you share it with), you see both versions side by side and choose which to keep. Nothing is overwritten silently.

Working with several items

Tick the boxes in front of items to move several to a folder at once, send them to the trash, or restore them from it.

The trash

Items you delete go to the trash first. Restore them from there, or delete them for good. Items left in the trash are deleted for good after 30 days.
