Decoy, duress, and destruct slots explained
Vaultr's coercion-resistant slot types let you protect your real data even when someone forces you to unlock.
Each vault slot opens with its own password and returns an identical success response, so no one can tell which type they unlocked.
The three protective slot types
- Decoy — opens a believable fake profile so your real vault stays hidden.
- Duress — unlocks normally but silently alerts your guardians.
- Destruct — wipes all normal vault data while showing a normal success.
