From a single dashboard, you can see exactly where every key is—whether it's on the hook, with a contractor, or in a tenant's pocket.

| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | | If you have the Recovery Key , use Recover Vault on the login screen. Without it, the vault is irrecoverable (by design). | | Browser extension not filling | 1. Ensure the desktop client is running. 2. Verify the extension’s native messaging host is installed (re‑install if needed). 3. Check that the site URL matches the stored entry (no sub‑domain mismatch). | | Sync conflicts | Open the Sync Log (Settings → Sync) and manually merge or discard duplicates. | | App crashes on startup | Delete the temporary cache folder ( %APPDATA%\KeyHive\Cache on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/KeyHive/Cache on macOS) and restart. | | Two‑factor code not accepted | Ensure your device’s clock is accurate (enable automatic time sync). TOTP is time‑sensitive. | | Exported vault won’t import | Verify you are using the same version of KeyHive (or a newer one). Older versions may lack migration support. |

If you enable cloud sync, keep a copy of the vault file on an external drive. In case the cloud service is compromised, you’ll still have a backup.
