# Function: storesFor()

```ts
function storesFor(account, folder?): StoreFactory;
```

Defined in: [packages/core/src/session/places.ts:125](https://github.com/leifriksheim/minca/blob/main/core/src/session/places.ts#L125)

The stores for one account.

Paths are account-scoped either way, so two accounts in one browser never
share a store, the same way two accounts in one folder never share a subtree.
A pod's registry is sealed under the account's local key, so someone who copies the
folder cannot read the private spaces in it.
