If you’ve lost your Secret Key without a backup, or you genuinely want to start the vault over (with a new key on a fresh slate), Reset Vault is the escape hatch. It’s destructive and email-confirmed.
Reset Vault permanently deletes every host, keychain, snippet, account, and known host in your vault — on this device and on every other device that syncs the same Rumus account. This cannot be undone.

​
When to use it

  • Your Secret Key is lost and you have no backup.
  • You want to roll the Secret Key for security reasons (suspected exposure).
  • You’re handing the account off or starting fresh.
If you only want to clear one device — sign out instead. Sign-out wipes the local vault on that device but preserves the cloud copy. See Sign in.

​
How to reset

Reset Vault lives in Settings → Account → Sync & Backup → Reset Vault.
1

Click Reset Vault

A confirmation dialog opens with the warning above. Click Send confirmation code to start the email step.
2

Receive a 6-character code

Rumus emails a 6-character confirmation code to the email on your account. The code expires after a short window and is one-time-use.
3

Enter the code

Type or paste the code in the dialog. Need a new one? Click Send a new code — there’s a 60-second cooldown between sends to prevent abuse.
4

Confirm

Click Reset vault permanently. Your vault is deleted in the cloud and on this device.
After the reset, the app reloads and you’ll be prompted to set up a new vault from scratch — see Vault setup.

​
What happens on other devices

The next time another device tries to sync the vault, Rumus detects that the server vault is gone. The user is shown Vault has been reset on another device. Please re-import your Secret Key. — except there’s no key to re-import yet, so they’re routed into vault setup with the new key (when you create one). Until a new Secret Key is generated on some device, the vault is genuinely empty everywhere.

​
Privacy

  • The emailed code is required precisely so that no one who briefly gets hold of your computer can wipe the vault on a whim.
  • Once reset, the previous vault is gone. There is no archive, no “restore from backup last week” — that’s the point of an encrypted vault only you hold the key to.
If you’re not sure whether reset is the right call, ask in the Rumus community before clicking — there is genuinely no undo.
