Frequently asked questions
Is VaultRecover really free?
Yes. There is no payment system anywhere in the app. Fair use is enforced with simple technical limits (file size, concurrent jobs, daily jobs) instead of a paywall.
What file types can be recovered right now?
ZIP and PDF passwords are recovered with real, verified decryption. RAR, 7Z, and Office formats have informational pages but automated recovery isn't wired up for them yet.
Is my file kept private?
Files are stored under random, non-guessable keys, never processed by anyone but the automated worker, and deleted automatically after a short retention window.
What if the password can't be found?
If no candidate in the available strategies verifies against your file, the job ends as Failed — we never report a false success.
Can I supply hints?
Yes — Deep Recovery mode lets you provide words you might have used; we generate mutations and patterns from them.
