Secure Storage

For current customers, we have begun a multi-year process of discontinuing maintenance and support services for Ionic Secure Storage. During this process, we will continue to keep Secure Storage up-to-date with support for all latest dependencies.

The Secure Storage package will be sunset effective December 31, 2027. By this time, you should have migrated to an alternative service for Identity Management. Any applications still relying on the @ionic-enterprise/secure-storage package at this time may experience build failures.

Open Source Alternatives

The solutions listed below are not owned, maintained or associated with Ionic. The Ionic Solutions Architecture team has not tested or evaluated these solutions. This list is provided for informational purposes only. Strongly encourage conducting additional research and evaluation to find a solution that will your unique business needs.

1. Cordova SQLCipher Adapter: Offers similar functionality and API semantics to the @ionic-enterprise/secure-storage plugin. In many cases, this is almost a "drop-in" replacement for Secure Storage with minimal code modifications required. However, this solution should be evaluated against your organization's security requirements.

2. Capacitor Community SQLite Plugin: Offers a full set of features and maintains compatibility with new releases of Capacitor. However the API semantics of this plugin differ greatly from Ionic's Secure Storage, requiring larger refactoring of your code. This solution should be evaluated against your organization's security requirements.

Key-Value Pair Support

As previously mentioned, Cordova SQLCipher Adapter is a mostly drop-in replacement for Secure Storage. One addition to Secure Storage that is not part of the Cordova SQLCipher Adapter plugin, however, is the KeyValueStorage class. We have created sample application that demonstrate how you can create your own Key Value pair implementation. Refer to the README file in the sample for details.

Self-Support @ionic-enterprise/secure-storage

For teams who would prefer to continue to leverage the @ionic-enterprise/secure-storage package, Ionic will be making these solutions self-supportable in 2026. Customers with active subscriptions will be eligible to receive a non-exclusive perpetual license for Secure Storage.

More details about self-support will be coming soon.
