Description

Feature request

User type: Logged-in user

User level: Beginners, intermediate and advanced

Description

Sometimes you reach a point where you should reorganize your passwords, maybe by opening new, topicrelated vaults. It would be great to have a function, to move one or more entries from their vault to another one. To be able to give credentials into new hands (e.g. if someone leaves the team), it would be great if a user could move also to shared vaults or offer the credentials to another user for import.

Benefit / value

Enables users to reorganize their growing password database or give control over some credentials to someone else.

Risk / caveats
  • Has to decrypt a second vault in the browser for moving
  • User could pick wrong recipient for movement-offer to different user

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first map how entries, vaults, shared vaults, and user access are represented in the project. Define the supported move and handoff flows, including authorization and wrong-recipient handling, then add coverage showing entries can be moved or offered without losing access controls.
