GarbleCloud requires a passphrase to be set to conduct operations on any encrypted files. Each time you share, open, or download an encrypted file, your GarbleCloud Passphrase is required. Your GarbleCloud passphrase is for YOU ONLY, do not share it with anyone. Make sure that your password is unique and something you are unlikely to forget. 

Note: You may reset your GarbleCloud Passphrase later, click here for more details.
