Using GrailVault
Item types
The kinds of item GrailVault stores, from everyday logins and notes to developer keys.
Most people only need Login and Secure Note. GrailVault also has types for developers, which stay out of the way under More types (when adding an item) and the Developer group in the menu.
Every type also has Tags, Notes, Custom fields and a Favorite option. Fields marked secret are hidden until you choose Reveal.
