PassHaven Help – Basics

PassHaven follows a zero trust architecture.
This means it doesn’t automatically trust anyone or anything — not even you, your device, or its own servers. It always checks and verifies before giving access. “Don’t trust — always verify.”

This is the one big password you choose — kind of like the key to a super-secure vault. You use it to unlock all your other saved passwords.

When you create your Master Password, PassHaven doesn’t store the password itself — instead, it runs it through a special math formula that scrambles it into a long string of letters and numbers. That’s called a hash — like a digital fingerprint. It’s unique to your password, but you can’t turn it back into the original password.

So even if someone breaks into the cloud server, all they see is a useless fingerprint — not your real password.

Whenever you save a password (like for Instagram, Gmail, etc.), PassHaven scrambles it using your Master Password. That process is called encryption. It’s like locking your secrets in a safe — and only the correct Master Password can unlock them.

So without your Master Password, no one (not even PassHaven) can read your saved passwords. They’re locked up tight — and only you have the key.
