Important Accounts (PIN-protected)

A private place to keep accounts such as your bank, utilities, and PayPal. Each entry shows the name, account number, and a Link to its login page.

It's built for privacy: the list is hidden by default and encrypted. You unlock it with a PIN, it shows for a short while, then hides itself again.

How the privacy works (plain version)

  • Your accounts are encrypted on your device. Encryption is unlocked by your PIN, which serves as the key.
  • The PIN is never stored anywhere. We can't see it, and neither can anyone who opens the stored file. The file contains encrypted data.
  • If you forget the PIN, the data can't be recovered. There's no reset, by design. Keep your PIN somewhere safe (a password manager is perfect).
  • Honest note: a short numeric PIN is convenient but not as strong as a long passphrase. It's far safer than storing this in plain text, but for highly sensitive numbers, use a longer PIN.

Set it up

  1. Open Settings → Important Accounts.
  2. Create a PIN. Make it memorable but not obvious.
  3. Click Add account and fill in:
    • Name (e.g. "Huntington Checking")
    • Account number
    • Login URL (the site you sign in at, shown later as "Link")
  4. Add as many as you like. Drag the grip handle on the left to reorder them.
  5. Click Save. Your list is encrypted and stored.

To edit later, come back to this screen and enter your PIN to unlock the editor.

The editor re-locks itself when you leave the section or switch away from the tab, so your data isn't left exposed. Save before you leave. Unsaved edits are cleared when it re-locks.


Use it on your dashboard

  1. Turn the widget on: Settings → Select Dashboard Widgets → Important Accounts.
  2. On a new tab, the widget shows a PIN box in the center (the accounts are invisible until you unlock them).
  3. Type your PIN. Your accounts fade in.
  4. Each row shows the name, the account number, and a Link to the login page (opens in a new tab).

It hides itself automatically

  • After 30 seconds, the accounts fade back out.
  • If you click anything outside the widget (another widget, empty space), it hides immediately.
  • If you switch away from the tab, it hides.

This keeps your numbers from sitting on screen when you walk away.


Change PIN, or start over

In Settings → Important Accounts:

  • Change PIN: enter your current PIN, then set a new one. Your accounts are re-encrypted with the new PIN.
  • Forget & wipe: permanently deletes the PIN and all saved accounts. This can't be undone.

Troubleshooting

  • "Wrong PIN": nothing is revealed and nothing is changed. Try again.
  • Forgot your PIN: there's no recovery. Use Forget & wipe to start fresh, then re-enter your accounts with a new PIN.
  • The widget isn't on the dashboard: turn it on in Select Dashboard Widgets (it's off by default).
