### Managing encryption {#encryption}
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warning
|
||||
|
||||
Encryption was removed in [paperless-ng 0.9](changelog.md#paperless-ng-090)
|
||||
because it did not really provide any additional security, the passphrase
|
||||
was stored in a configuration file on the same system as the documents.
|
||||
Furthermore, the entire text content of the documents is stored plain in
|
||||
the database, even if your documents are encrypted. Filenames are not
|
||||
encrypted as well. Finally, the web server provides transparent access to
|
||||
your encrypted documents.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider running paperless on an encrypted filesystem instead, which
|
||||
will then at least provide security against physical hardware theft.

#### Enabling encryption
|

|
||||
Enabling encryption is no longer supported.
|

|

#### Disabling encryption
|

|

Basic usage to disable encryption of your document store:

|

(Note: If `PAPERLESS_PASSPHRASE` isn't set already, you need to specify
|
||||
it here)
|
||||
|
||||
```

||||
decrypt_documents [--passphrase SECR3TP4SSPHRA$E]

```

### Detecting duplicates {#fuzzy_duplicate}

Paperless already catches and prevents upload of exactly matching documents,
