Ask HN: How would you use a zero-knowledge personal data vault on the web?

Service would be primarily text storage but you can also assume the possibility of storing small files (<10 MB). Still working on a method to avoid the (forgetting password == data loss) scenario.

Still working on a method to avoid the (forgetting password == data loss) scenario.

Why? "forgetting password == data loss" is a feature, not a bug.

Well, it's both. It's just that most alternatives for this kind of application would introduce bigger bugs.
