01.User Responsibility & Master Passphrase Safekeeping

KeyNest enforces zero-knowledge, client-side encryption. You explicitly acknowledge that:

No administrative recovery, backdoor, or password reset mechanism exists. Loss of master credentials or key files results in irrecoverable loss of vault data.
Users are exclusively responsible for creating offline backups of their .kdbx files and .key/.keyx keyfiles.
Endpoint security of the host operating system remains the user's responsibility.
