Folder Encryption

When enabled, your input and output folders can be encrypted to protect your files. Encryption is manual - files remain unencrypted while you work and are only encrypted when you explicitly choose to do so.

To encrypt your files:

• Click "Logout" in the profile menu - encrypts files and logs you out
• Click "Safe Exit (Encrypt & Close)" - encrypts files, then you can close ComfyUI

Files are automatically decrypted when you log in.

Important: If you close ComfyUI without logging out or using Safe Exit, your files will remain unencrypted. This is by design to give you full control over when encryption happens.

Safe Exit

For profiles with encryption enabled, the Safe Exit (Encrypt & Close) button provides a convenient way to encrypt and close:

1. Click the profile button in the toolbar
2. Click "Safe Exit (Encrypt & Close)"
3. Watch the encryption progress
4. Close the window when prompted

Note: Encryption requires a password. Without the password, encrypted files cannot be recovered.

Configuration

Profiles are stored in:

ComfyUI/user/user_profiles/profiles.json

Security Notes

• Passwords are hashed using SHA-256 with a unique salt per profile
• File encryption uses Fernet (AES-128-CBC) with PBKDF2 key derivation
• Encryption keys are derived from your password - do not forget your password
• The cryptography library is required for encryption features

• Check ComfyUI logs for any error messages

Encryption not working

• Ensure cryptography is installed: pip install cryptography
• Make sure you have a password set on the profile
• Check that the input/output folders exist and are accessible

Extension not loading

• Verify the extension is in ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-user-profiles/
• Check for Python import errors in the console
• Ensure all files are present (__init__.py, profile_manager.py, encryption.py)
