    All forms use SSL security (HTTPS), and this is something where your browser does not need to store any keys:

    https://www.jotform.com/blog/175-All-Forms-are-Now-Secure-by-Default-The-SSL-Limits-on-Free-Accounts-are-Lifted-

    I see that your forms are also using form encryption, which is another layer of encryption over the already secure SSL submissions - is form encryption what you were referring to? Form encryption makes the secure data you are receiving through JotForm forms encrypted so that not even our own system can decrypt or work with your data.

    If you are asking about form encryption, then please note that the private key from form encryption is stored in your browser's cookies. If you clear out your cookies, either directly from the browser or by using a dedicated "cleaner app" such as CCleaner, it will also delete your private encryption key from your browser's local storage.

    After clearing out your browser cookies, or if you use a different browser or private/incognito mode of your browser, you will have to re-upload the private key in order to decrypt your submissions. The following guide contains more information about what form encryption is, and what it means:

    https://www.jotform.com/help/344-Encrypted-Forms-and-How-to-Use-Them

    Please be sure to always keep a copy of your private encryption key in a safe place, because that is the only thing that can decrypt your encrypted submissions. In case you did not actually want to use form encryption, you can disable it on your form by going to Preferences, switching to the Advanced tab, and switching Encrypt Form Data option to NO.

    If you need any further clarifications or assistance, please let us know. Thank you.

    I need Encrypt data also with key :)

    And this is making problems, because the browser is loosing the key, if I press edit, sometimes I have to put in the key twice, before it works.

    Make sure you download the private key and save it in a folder in your drive easy to remember, other than the "Downloads" folder.
