Moving your important few.

The approach

Not a migration. A selection.

There is no import. That sounds like a limitation and is mostly a filter: typing a secret in by hand forces you to decide whether it is worth the minute.

Start from your existing store, the password manager, the notebook, the envelope, the photo you have been meaning to delete. Read down the list and mark only what you would still be upset about in a year.

Most people end with somewhere between five and fifteen items. That is the vault. Everything else stays where it was, which is fine.

One evening

In order.

1. I

   Gather

   Put every place you keep secrets in front of you. Include the ones you are slightly embarrassed by.

2. II

   Choose the password

   Decide the one you will remember before you type anything else, and rehearse it a few times.

3. III

   Write the vault

   Name each secret plainly, Banking, Wallet backup, Home safe, and enter its value. Then encrypt and write to a card.

4. IV

   Copy to three

   Write the same vault to each card, and put each one where it belongs.

5. V

   Clean up

   Delete the screenshot. Shred the paper. Empty the notes app. That step is the actual improvement.
