Missing masterkey.cryptomator

[Michael]

Well, cryptomator did not delete it for sure .

If you can’t find your masterkey file anymore, and you do not have a backup of it where you can recover the masterkey from, but you do have a recovery key for that vault, you can try this to recreate your masterkey file from the recovery key.

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 do not have a recovery key for the vault, and you can’t find your masterkey anymore and you do not have a backup or your vault (which contains the masterkey), then your files in the vault cannot be decrypted anymore and are lost.
