Safe presentation
Last updated: 29 Jun 2026
Mode D—masked cards and timed reveal on your device.
Who this is for
Anyone who must show credentials, bank details, or ID fields to another person—in a meeting, video call, or counter visit—without sending a full copy or uploading to the cloud.
What you need
| Tier | Free |
| Vault state | Unlocked |
| Network | Not required—presentation stays on-device |
| Feature toggle | None—shipped and available now |
Steps
Open presentation mode
- Unlock the vault and open the asset (Credential, Bank, Document, etc.).
- Tap Present on the asset row overlay or detail toolbar.
- The banner reads Presentation mode — nothing is uploaded.
Choose visible fields
- Toggle which fields appear on the redacted card—defaults vary by category (e.g. bank name visible, full account masked).
- Your selection saves per asset for next time.
- Reset to category default restores the template preset.
Timed reveal
- For sensitive values, tap Reveal on a field.
- Pick duration (15 s, 30 s, 60 s)—the full value shows briefly, then masks again.
- Screen capture protection may activate on protected field types while revealed.
In-person or video use
- Hold the phone or laptop so the other party reads only the masked card.
- Use Copy redacted to paste non-secret summaries—clipboard auto-clears per app policy.
- Need paper? Use the browser Print command on the presentation card—the layout is print-safe and omits masked fields.
Optional handoff from presentation
When you do need to transfer data after showing:
| Action | Risk | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Show QR (plaintext JSON) | Anyone nearby can scan selected non-secret fields | Low-sensitivity proof only—confirm the dialog, then Hide QR when done; changing visible fields dismisses the QR |
| Share… (encrypted link or file) | Standard Modes A–C with relay or .nt2share | Recipient needs a retained copy or encrypted remote handoff—use Share, not Present |
Presentation itself never uploads plaintext—encrypted handoff stays on the Share… sheet.
Tips and common mistakes
- Safe presentation is not a share link—watermark reminds viewers: Redacted preview — not a share link.
- Nothing replaces out-of-band trust—masking does not stop someone from photographing the screen during timed reveal; use minimum fields.
- Prefer presentation over
.nt2sharewhen the other party only needs to verify, not retain, data. - For recurring landlords or employers, combine presentation in person with a one-time encrypted link if they need a retained copy.
- Hard-blocked field types (e.g. full mnemonics) cannot be added to QR exports—use vault-to-vault for those rare cases.
