PreVeil Express (PVX) is a web application that allows for the creation and usage of a PreVeil Express PVX account. A PreVeil Express PVX and a full PreVeil account differ in that a PreVeil Express PVX account is used solely on a web browser and is intended for light use of the PreVeil system while a full PreVeil account requires client software installation and carries a range of features.
...
A PreVeil Express account’s private key is encrypted by the password and PreVeil does not store, nor does it have access to passwords. For this reason, PreVeil Support is unable reset or recover a password. Similarly, the mobile phone number for MFA cannot be changed.

An upgrade is the option to convert an existing PreVeil Express account to a full PreVeil account. The steps to upgrade are the following.
NOTE:
The full installed version of PreVeil includes additional security and many advanced features. If you can install software, we suggest the full version to get the most out of your PreVeil experience.
Once you upgrade, your password and PreVeil Express login will no longer be used.

We strongly recommend that you create a Recovery File, as this will allow you to recover your PreVeil encryption key should you need to do so. Your encryption key is what allows you to access your PreVeil account; if that encryption key is lost you will not be able to access your PreVeil account. If a Recovery File is not created at the time of the account creation, you can create one later via the instructions found here. |
