Getting started
How do I set up Dankore Vault on my Android phone?
Install the free Bitwarden app from Google Play, choose Self-hosted, type our server address, and sign in with your master password.
You use your vault on an Android phone or tablet through the free Bitwarden app. It is made by Bitwarden, Inc. We are not part of Bitwarden.
Before you start, please accept your invitation email and choose your master password. See how Dankore Vault works.
Install the app
- Open the Google Play Store on your phone.
- Search for Bitwarden Password Manager.
- Check that it says it is made by Bitwarden Inc.
- Tap Install.
- When it finishes, tap Open.
Tell the app to use our server
This is the most important part. The app is set to Bitwarden's own server at first. You need to point it at ours.
- On the first screen, look for words like "Logging in on: bitwarden.com".
- Tap it. A short list appears.
- Choose Self-hosted.
- In the box called Server URL, type https://secure-vault.dankore.com exactly.
- Tap Save.
Please check the address carefully. One wrong letter means the app cannot find your vault.
Sign in
- Type the email address your invitation was sent to.
- Tap Continue.
- Type your master password. This is the one you chose for your vault, not the password for our website.
- Tap the button to sign in, usually called Log in with master password.
You should now see your vault. If it is empty, that is normal for a new vault.
Turn on fingerprint unlock (optional)
Once you are signed in, you can open the vault with your fingerprint or face. Then you do not need to type your master password every time.
- Tap Settings at the bottom of the app.
- Look for Account security.
- Turn on Unlock with biometrics.
- Touch the fingerprint sensor when the phone asks.
The app will still ask for your master password now and then. That is a good thing. It helps you keep remembering it.
Your vault locks itself after a while when you are not using it. You can change how long in the same Account security settings.
What happens next
Next, let your phone fill in passwords for you. See fill in passwords automatically.
