- External key file support with path expansion
- Comprehensive settings interface
- Improved error handling and validation
Passphrase Encryption: Standard symmetric encryption with a password you provide.
Key File Encryption: Uses .age identity files (which must be encrypted with a passphrase). More secure for shared access scenarios.
- Encrypt content: Select text or use command palette
Encrypt Selection- encrypts selected text (auto mode)Encrypt File- encrypts entire file, excludes frontmatter by default (auto mode)- Use explicit mode commands for specific encryption type
Auto Mode: Uses your configured default encryption method from settings. If set to "mixed" mode, prompts you to choose. Honors remembered session preferences.
- Decrypt content: Click encrypted blocks or use command palette
- Plugin detects encryption method automatically when possible
- Shows encryption method and key ID in decrypted view
Remember Passphrases: Global setting controls default behavior for remember toggles.
- Note passphrases: Remembered per-note, applies only to that specific encrypted block
- Key file passphrases: Unlocks the identity, applies to all content encrypted with that key file
Clear Credentials: Use Clear all remembered passphrases and key files from command palette.
This plugin is backward compatible with v1.2.0 of the upstream obsidian-age-encrypt. Notes encrypted with the upstream plugin lack encryption metadata, so you'll need to manually select "Passphrase" during decryption (the UI shows "Method Unknown - likely Passphrase" as a hint).
- Encryption Mode: Choose default behavior (passphrase, key files, or mixed)
- Key Files: Configure paths to
.ageidentity files - Remember by Default: Control default state of remember toggles
- Exclude Frontmatter: When encrypting files, preserve YAML frontmatter
