# Vault Editor Bridge uses an encrypted vault to store persistent data. This is a tool for reading and writing this vault. It can be built with `make vault-editor` in the bridge source code root directory. Example usage: ```bash $ ./vault-editor read { "Settings": { "GluonDir": "/Users/james/Library/Caches/protonmail/bridge/gluon", "IMAPPort": 1143, "SMTPPort": 1025, "IMAPSSL": false, "SMTPSSL": false, "UpdateChannel": "stable", "UpdateRollout": 0.6046602879796196, "ColorScheme": "", "ProxyAllowed": true, "ShowAllMail": true, "Autostart": false, "AutoUpdate": true, "LastVersion": "2.4.1+git", "FirstStart": true, "FirstStartGUI": true }, "Users": null, "Cookies": ... "Certs": { "Bridge": { "Cert": ... "Key": ... }, "Installed": true } } $ ./vault-editor read > vault.json # export the vault as JSON $ vim vault.json # modify the exported vault somehow $ cat vault.json|./vault-editor write # import the modified vault $ ./vault-editor read # the vault should have been modified { "Settings": { "GluonDir": "/Users/james/Library/Caches/protonmail/bridge/gluon", "IMAPPort": 1144, "SMTPPort": 1026, "IMAPSSL": true, "SMTPSSL": true, "UpdateChannel": "early", "UpdateRollout": 0.6046602879796196, "ColorScheme": "", "ProxyAllowed": true, "ShowAllMail": true, "Autostart": false, "AutoUpdate": true, "LastVersion": "2.4.1+git", "FirstStart": true, "FirstStartGUI": true }, "Users": null, "Cookies": ...
