How to 'recover' cryptomator with missing vault and keyfile

Here is how to create a masterkey file from the recovery passphrase.

Recover masterkey file with recovery key?

Honestly, it’s a limitation on an application level. In theory, you could create a masterkey file out of the recovery key. So if you really only have the recovery key and lost your masterkey file, you could do the following workaround: Create a new vault. Copy masterkey file from new vault to old vault that has a missing masterkey file. Select old vault in Cryptomator. Go to “Vault Options” and select “Password”. Select “Recover Password”. Use the recovery key. Assign a new password. Edit: Yo…

If you have a backup of your vault try to start new.
Or at least try to undo what you did so far.
Creating a new vault with same password and then copying the encrypted vault files to it will not work.
