One of the best things about the Opacity zero knowledge file storage platform is that you don’t require an email address or password to login. Protecting your privacy is paramount with Opacity and these small protections prove that. These simple omissions ensure that your details are kept private.

Most people use the same email address and password across many sites which isn’t good practice as hackers can utilize these details. With Opacity, you don’t need to worry about data breaches or your private details getting into the wrong hands. Why? Well, Opacity doesn’t hold those details for anyone to steal. It really is that simple.

Anonymity at its best.

How to Get Started

To get started, you need to head over to the Opacity home page and click on the Sign-up button. The process is very straightforward, but make sure that you read the instructions carefully, as the Account Handle and the Recovery Phrase are very important.

The Recovery Phrase is something that I’d advise you to store somewhere safe, (Warning: notepad files or email drafts are not safe!) somewhere that you can easily dig out when you need them. I use a physical notebook, which gets stored in my lockable document file. You can also use secure password managers that you trust.

Once you’ve stored your recovery phrase safely, agreed to the terms of service and proven that you aren’t a robot, click on Continue.

The Opacity Account Handle is the key to your Opacity account. Without it, you will not be able to access your files. Just like the recovery phrase, this is something that you want to store in physical form. Double and triple check that you have copied the Handle correctly, and to be double-y sure, you could copy the handle onto a notepad file and print it out and then delete the notepad file. Or use that secure password manager!
