How It Works FAQs
Answers to common questions about how to get started and use Namirasoft Secret.
1. How can I create secrets in Namirasoft Secret?
You can create secrets by entering sensitive data directly in supported Namirasoft apps, which automatically encrypt and store it in Namirasoft Secret, or by manually adding them through the Namirasoft Secret console.
2. If I enter sensitive data in other Namirasoft apps, is it stored securely?
Yes. When you input sensitive data in Namirasoft apps like Namirasoft Credential or Sender apps, it's automatically encrypted and securely stored in Namirasoft Secret behind the scenes.
3. Can I manually add secrets to Namirasoft Secret?
Yes. In the Secret console, you can organize secrets by Groups, assign them a name, choose an encryption algorithm, and store the value securely. For more information, visit How It Works page.
4. How do I know which encryption algorithm to choose?
Each algorithm has different capabilities. Some support retrieval, while others are write-only. For detailed guidance, visit the Security page.
5. Can I edit or retrieve all secrets once stored?
Depending on the algorithm selected, some secrets are retrievable or editable, while others are intentionally non-reversible for security. For detailed guidance, visit the Security page.
6. How do I control who can access my secrets?
You can manage access permissions using Namirasoft Access, ensuring only authorized users can view or manage your secrets.

Security FAQs
Understand how Namirasoft Secret protects your data.
1. What’s the difference between encryption and hashing in Namirasoft Secret?
Encryption is reversible, allowing secure retrieval of the original value. Hashing is irreversible and suited for use cases like verification without exposing the original data.
2. Can I retrieve a hashed secret later if I need to see the original value?
No. Hashing (using HASH-SHA256 or HASH-BCRYPT) is a one-way process. To store retrievable data, use ENCRYPT-AES256CCM instead.
3. What makes AES256CCM secure for encryption?
ENCRYPT-AES256CCM uses the Advanced Encryption Standard in CCM mode, providing both confidentiality and integrity. It's ideal for encrypting credentials and API keys securely.
4. Is Namirasoft Secret suitable for use in external (non-Namirasoft) applications?
Yes. Through the Namirasoft Secret API, you can store and retrieve secrets in external apps. You can select between encryption and hashing to meet your security requirements.
5. How do I decide between SHA256 and BCRYPT when using hashing?
Use HASH-SHA256 for lightweight validation. Choose HASH-BCRYPT for passwords or user-facing secrets requiring stronger security due to its computational hardness.
Pricing FAQs
Find details about free tier, billing, and how pricing works.
1. What do I get with the Free Tier?
The Free Tier allows you to store and retrieve secrets securely without any cost. It’s ideal for individuals and small teams, offering a generous quota to cover most non-commercial use cases. For exact limits, see the pricing table.
2. Will I be notified before I exceed the Free Tier?
Yes. You will receive an email notification when your usage reaches 80% of your Free Tier limit. This gives you time to review your usage or subscribe to the Paid Tier before any interruption occurs.
3. What happens if I exceed the Free Tier limit?
If your usage goes beyond the Free Tier, secret creation and read access will be paused temporarily. Your data remains secure and intact. An email will guide you through how to subscribe to the Paid Tier, after which access is immediately restored.
4. Does the Paid Tier have usage limits?
No. The Paid Tier follows a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for what you use. Charges are calculated based on the number of records stored per hour and read operations performed. For full rate details, see the pricing table.
5. How do I subscribe to the Paid Tier or make a payment?
To subscribe, open the Secret console and click the Plans menu in the header. This will redirect you to Namirasoft Payment, where all payments and subscriptions are securely processed.
6. Is my data safe if I exceed the Free Tier but don’t subscribe right away?
Yes. Even if access is temporarily paused, all your secrets remain securely stored. You can subscribe to the Paid Tier at any time to resume full functionality without any data loss.
