Windows SmartScreen may block the installation of PhraseVault because the app is relatively new and not yet widely recognized. This is a standard Windows security feature – the application is completely safe to install.
How to Proceed
- Click "More info" on the SmartScreen warning
- Click "Run anyway" to start the installation
Why Does This Happen?
SmartScreen builds trust over time based on download frequency and user reports. As more users install PhraseVault, this warning will eventually disappear.
Alternative Options
- Install from the Microsoft Store – No SmartScreen warning, automatically trusted
-
Use Winget:
winget install ptmrio.phrasevault - Build from source: The code is available on GitHub
