I installed KeyOS v1.3.0. I do not have any issues. I can disconnect devices and reconnect and still use my passphrase account. However my passphrase account disappearances in Envoy once I disconnect from Prime. Do you plan on changing this and enable it to be permanently viewable ? I don’t see any benefit in this feature. ---

I needed several tries until the update reached my device finally. On Envoy I switched from “improved privacy” to “better performance” in the privacy settings and additionally plugged USB power to the Passport Prime. Not sure if this really had some effects, but maybe this helps others to play around in case the update does not work seamless as it happened on my end. ---

It is intentional for plausible deniability, but we do have a ticket to make this users selectable at some point in the future. ---

Could have been a Tor stability issue. Did it work first time after turning it off? Where during the process were you getting stuck? ---

Great! Something to think about Nunchuk wallet lets users have multiple pins to sign in. Example pin 1234 has base wallet & passphrased wallet. Pin 5555 only has base wallet. ---

Seems Files App with USB connection to Win11 is broken. Tried it with two different clients that worked before KeyOS v1.3.0 Beta. Checked also different cabling and different USB ports. No success. ---

Could you please be more descriptive about how it is broken? What did/didn’t happen? Files app is meant to work without connecting to a laptop - it explores the files within prime. Airlock is when the connection to the computer makes sense - you copy files to and from the airlock, connecting prime to a computer will show it as a flash drive in your computer. Is this not showing up? What other clients did you use it with before the update? Do you think you can use KeyOS1.3.0 with any of those two clients that it used to work with before? Want to make sure this was indeed introduced by 1.3.0 ---

> [@Jack](#): > > Airlock is when the connection to the computer makes sense - you copy files to and from the airlock, connecting prime to a computer will show it as a flash drive in your computer. Is this not showing up? Right, airlock as flash drive is not visible in both W11 clients I work with. Normally I get a ping sound when plugging USB devices; even this ping sound is missing, no USB device shown in system control. Also connecting to my android smartphone by USB does not show up any data on both devices. > [@Jack](#): > > Do you think you can use KeyOS1.3.0 with any of those two clients that it used to work with before? This is exactly what I did. Both W11 clients worked with Prime USB connection before; both do not work anymore with 1.3.0 ---

What’s the status on the public v1.3.0 release date? Any ETA on how long the “second beta phase” is going to be? ---

Depends on any issues found during the beta phase. If there isn’t much that crops up, then main release will be less than two weeks away. ---

Hello all…is the Vault import feature live? I’m on the 1.3 beta and I don’t see that option in any of the Vault menu items. Thanks. ---

Hi, I cannot custom reorder my items in the “Keys” App. Tipping on the arrows, nothing happens. In the “2FA” and “Vault” App all works as expected, it’s only in the “Keys” App. ---
