+The passwords app offers strong client side encryption which protects all your data with a master password.
+
+## Enabling Client Side Encryption
+> :warning: Some third-party clients do not support encryption
+
+#### Important Information
+By default, the encryption setup will encrypt all existing passwords, folders and tags except shared passwords.
+All password revisions but the current will be deleted.
+The encryption setup will also create a new password entry with your master password.
+If you do not want this, switch the settings view to `Advanced` in the top right corner and uncheck the options in step 5 of the setup.
+The encryption setup will create the new entries before deleting.
+So even if something goes wrong, there should be no data loss.
+
+#### Manual encryption setup
+1. Open the Settings (`More > Settings`)
+2. Locate the `Encryption` section at the end of the `Security` section.
+3. Click the `Activate` button next to `End-to-End Encryption`.
+4. The setup wizard will appear. Click continue to see the master password dialog.
+5. Enter the master password with at least 12 characters and confirm it.
+6. Click `Save`.
+
+The encryption setup will automatically encrypt all folders and passwords
+
+> :warning: Do not abort the encryption process or reload the page
+
+
+## Disabling Client Side Encryption
+There is no built-in option to disable client side encryption.
+Passwords offers hidden passwords, which make it impossible to guarantee that all passwords have been decrypted.
+This would either prevent removing the master passwords or leave some passwords undecryptable.
+If you're sure that you do not have any hidden passwords, you can try the following steps:
+
+> :exclamation: This process will delete any hidden items and all settings
+
+1. Make you have no hidden passwords in any app you use or unhide them in that app.
+2. Exit or log out of any client but the Nextcloud app itself
+3. Ask your admin to make a backup using passwords backup command
+4. Make a complete, unencrypted [database export](./Export#database-backup)
+5. Check the contents of the export with a text editor to verify that your data is exported correctly
+6. Go into `Settings` and use the option to reset everything in the `Danger Zone`
+7. [Import the database backup](./Import/Import-from-backup)
+8. Delete the backup file and restore your settings
