Setting key: configPassphraseStore
Choose how the passphrase for sensitive configuration items is provided. **Default** uses the existing default key. **Use a custom passphrase** uses the value of `configPassphrase` and saves that key on this device. **Ask an passphrase at every launch** requests a masked passphrase at start-up and caches a successfully entered key in memory for that launch.
Apply this setting and its passphrase together. Applying them re-encrypts the saved sensitive values with the selected passphrase and changes how LiveSync obtains that passphrase in one operation. If Apply fails, the edited values stay available for another attempt. Re-encryption preserves the plaintext values: it does not change the E2EE passphrase, the ID key, or Vault contents.
#### Passphrase of sensitive configuration items
Setting key: configPassphrase
This passphrase will not be copied to another device. It will be set to `Default` until you configure it again.
This passphrase is not copied to another device. With **Use a custom passphrase**, the selected mode is stored in the configuration but the key remains on this device. If protected settings need to be decrypted and another device does not have the key, LiveSync asks for the passphrase during start-up. After the protected settings validate it, the key is saved on that device.

## Setup and settings questions
### LiveSync asks for a configuration encryption passphrase at start-up
When **Use a custom passphrase** is selected and this device has no usable saved key, enter the passphrase which protects the sensitive configuration. LiveSync validates it against the saved settings, then saves the validated key on this device before continuing start-up. **Ask an passphrase at every launch** requests a masked passphrase at start-up and caches a successfully entered key in memory for that launch.
For the custom-key recovery prompt used by **Use a custom passphrase**, cancelling or closing the prompt stops this start-up attempt and preserves the encrypted configuration. Start Obsidian again to retry. A headless command-line process cannot complete that interactive recovery prompt, so it declines to load protected settings when recovery input is required.
### Share a configuration with another device
Generate an encrypted Setup URI from a working device. This preserves the intended remote profiles and selections while allowing the additional device to keep its own device-specific name. Store the URI and its passphrase separately.
