Encrypt in three steps

1
Label your group

Give your secret group a descriptive name — like "work credentials" or "bank info" — so you can identify it easily without exposing its content.

2
Set your Q&A pairs

Add up to 5 Question/Answer pairs that serve as the encryption key. Only someone who knows all the correct answers can decrypt your secrets.

3
Encrypt & store

Click Next to encrypt everything client-side. The ciphertext is then stored securely — your answers never leave your device.

Three ways to decrypt

From a file

Upload an encrypted file directly from your device. answercrypt reads the ciphertext, prompts for your Q&A answers, and decrypts locally without ever sending data elsewhere.

Paste ciphertext

Got an encrypted string? Paste it directly into the interface. Handy for secrets shared via messages or emails — just paste, answer, and unlock.

From the server

Step 2 of 4 — Set your Q&A pairs

Encrypt step 2 – Q&A pairs

Add up to 5 Question/Answer pairs that act as your cryptographic key. Only people who know every answer can unlock the secret.

Step 4 of 4 — Export your encrypted secret

Encrypt step 4 – Export

Once encrypted, export as a QR code PNG, copy the raw payload, or download a file — ready to share or store anywhere.

Built on solid principles

Client-side encryption

All encryption and decryption happens in your browser. Your secrets and your answers are never transmitted to any server — not even ours.

Knowledge-based keys

Instead of passwords, answercrypt uses human-memorable Q&A pairs as the cryptographic key.

Zero-knowledge server

When you store secrets server-side, only ciphertext is saved. The server is architecturally incapable of reading your data — there are no keys to leak.

Fully open source

Every line of answercrypt is publicly auditable. No black boxes, no hidden telemetry. Trust built through transparency, not marketing promises.
