# Where are my passwords physically stored?

{% hint style="warning" %}
Passwords are stored on the Hideez Key only.
{% endhint %}

When a password is required for a computer or phone, Hideez Safe requests it from the Hideez Key, enters the password and immediately removes it from memory.

The passwords are not copied to the cloud, but you can make a copy of the data from the Hideez Key using an encrypted local file.
