    Not a bad question at all, no worries.<p>When you save your password on your PC, the password is saved into an encrypted store that is physically on that PC, and to get it to your phone you need to have the application (be it web or native android) open and your vault unlocked so that the two can synchronize.<p>What I do is to prepare the phone vault by unlocking it and synchronizing right away as I make changes if something is critical.<p>That is the trade-off when it comes to convenience as compared to something like BitWarden, for example. There the credentials are stored in a centralized database that your PC or phone can reach independently of each other.<p>EDIT: More details here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cryptex-vault.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;synchronization" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cryptex-vault.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;synchronization</a>

  My primary issue with a new password manager is always trust.<p>Are there any plans to review the source code independently, or do something similar to prove it&#x27;s end-to-end security?

    I understand you and I feel the same way. I am currently working with a couple of people that are well-versed in this space so that we can get more eyes, and a proper security audit for the whole codebase in the following year.<p>You can follow progress here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cryptex-vault.com&#x2F;security" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cryptex-vault.com&#x2F;security</a>
