Get started with Choco Sync
A complete walkthrough from setting up your secure account to syncing your first identity across devices.
About Choco Sync
Choco Sync is a Zero-Knowledge platform. We've built it with one goal: To keep your browser sessions alive across every device you own, without ever letting anyone - including us - see your data.
This guide will take you from a fresh installation to your first cloud-synced identity. Let's dive in.
Initialization
Identity Selection
Your journey begins with choice. Use Google Authentication for a seamless setup, or opt for a traditional Email & Password login to start synchronizing.
Privacy Note
This step only identifies you. Your actual session data remains locked behind the secondary encryption layer we create in the next step.
Security Layer
Account Password
This password has two critical functions. Primarily, it is used to encrypt your cloud backups if you enable them. It also serves as your Direct Login credential if you prefer using email and password over Google Authentication.
Backup Encryption
If you enable cloud backups, Choco uses this password to seal your platform security keys before they ever leave your device. This ensures that only you can ever decrypt and recover your platforms.
Structuring
Create Platforms
Think of Platforms as folders for your sessions. You can categorize them by service, project, or identity.
Templates
Use community provided blueprints for popular services.
Custom Build
Total control for proprietary apps. Define domains, specific cookies, and storage paths.
Encryption
The Platform Key
Isolation at the core. Each platform generates a unique Security Key.
Compromising one key never reveals others. Each platform is a digital island.
You can optionally back up these keys to Choco's cloud. They are restored to your dashboard using your Account Password, acting as a secure vault for when you lose your local keys.
Integration
Unlock the Extension
The browser extension is your portal. Once installed, it needs to know who you are.
