Security Alerts & Audit Notifications
Immediate awareness of suspicious account activity is critical for preventing unauthorized vault access. Vertueal includes a real-time event notification engine that alerts you via email whenever significant security milestones occur.
Monitored Security Events
You can individually enable or disable notifications for the following security events:
| Event Type | Default | Description | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Device Login | Enabled | Triggered when a new computer, phone, or browser passes MFA and accesses your vault. | Always Enabled |
| Failed Unlock Attempt | Enabled | Triggered when an incorrect master password or invalid auth hash is submitted. | Always Enabled |
| Master Password Changed | Enabled | Triggered immediately when your master password and salt are rotated. | Always Enabled |
| Vault Exported | Enabled | Triggered when your vault is exported to an unencrypted JSON or CSV file. | Always Enabled |
| Vault Unlocked | Disabled | Dispatches an email every time your vault is decrypted on any trusted device. | Optional (High-security accounts) |

Anatomical Breakdown of a Security Alert Email
When a security alert is dispatched from security@vertueal.com, it contains actionable forensic metadata:
Subject: Security Alert: New Device Login
----------------------------------------------------------------
A new device was verified and logged into your vault.
• Device: MacBook Pro (Chrome 128.0)
• IP Address: 203.0.113.195
• Location: Berlin, Germany
• Time: 2026-09-20 18:30:45 UTC
If this was you, no action is needed. If you did not perform this login,
your account may be compromised. Change your master password immediately!
