Troubleshooting

Desktop Syncing Disabled

Desktop syncing is currently disabled because you have not yet created a Vault.

Once you create a vault, you will be able to pair your device with a desktop computer for syncing. Please note that desktop syncing is a premium feature and once your 30 day trial has expired you will be required to choose a plan.
