How do I log into Termax?

Termax doesn't need a login. Install the app for Windows or Android and create your SSH connections — they're stored locally on your device, encrypted with Windows DPAPI or the Android Keystore. An optional account is only needed if you want to sync your connections across devices. The web app and sync login live at https://app.termax.app.

Why doesn't Termax force an account?

An SSH client manages highly sensitive credentials. A mandatory account would inevitably involve a third-party server in that data flow. Instead, Termax keeps your credentials strictly local; without an account they never leave your device.

A Termax login? You don't need one.

Termax is an SSH client without mandatory accounts. Your connections stay locally encrypted on your device — nobody needs to sign in anywhere. An account is only useful if you want to sync your connections between PC and phone.

// Two ways

No account — or an optional account for sync

Both modes deliver the same core Termax experience. You decide whether you want your connection list to travel across devices.

Without an account (default)

After install you create connections; they're encrypted locally (Windows DPAPI or Android Keystore) and stay on the device. No server ever sees your data. This is how the vast majority of users run Termax.

With an optional account (sync only)

If you want the same SSH connections on your PC and your phone, you sign into a self-chosen account. Sync is end-to-end encrypted (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM) — the server only stores unreadable ciphertext. → Web login

Common Termax login questions

I forgot my Termax password — what now?

If you work without an account, there's no password to forget — your connections are protected by your device's keystore. With an account, you cannot reset the master password because the server has no access to your plaintext data (zero-knowledge). You can, however, create a new account and re-import your connections anytime.

Is my session persisted?

In the installed app, yes. In the web app (app.termax.app) you stay signed in until you log out. If you use Quick Connect right on termax.app, Termax stores nothing at all — closing the tab wipes everything.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, any time via /konto-loeschen.html. All sync data is removed from the database.
