The file teampass-seckey.txt is the most critical security component of a installation. It contains the main salt key used for encrypting and decrypting sensitive items stored in public folders. Without this file, a TeamPass instance cannot decode passwords from the database, effectively rendering the data inaccessible even with a valid database backup. Role and Function

TeamPass needs to know where the key moved. Edit your includes/config.php or includes/settings.php file. Look for a line like:

SECUREFILE : The filename, which is almost always teampass-seckey.txt .

: Its location is defined in the settings.php file using the SECUREPATH and SECUREFILE constants. Critical Management Tasks

: TeamPass includes a built-in feature to change the main salt key . This process re-encrypts all database entries with a new key and updates the .txt file automatically. Troubleshooting Common Issues
