You have to update your docs, you have here: [SecureStorage usage](http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/native/secure-storage/) that one has to do “`import { SecureStorage } from 'ionic-native';`” but the class name is not SecureStorage, it is ‘NativeStorage’, so it would be “`import { NativeStorage } from 'ionic-native';`”, and in order to use this api, ionic-native version has to be 1.3.5 or greater as @ihadeed indicates here: [NativeStorage not found](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/nativestorage-not-found/58010/2)

> UPDATE: SecureStorage and NativeStorage are different plugins, my bad there 😅, but still, updating ‘ionic-native’ as @ihadeed indicates in the link i added, solved it!

NativeStorage is another plugin. You need SecureStorage. Maybe it isn’t in version yet.

SecureStorage must be something different from NativeStorage. The difference seems to be SecureStorage stores cryptographed data.

This answer solved my problem with NativeStorage, but perhaps it will solve your problem with SecureStorage:

> [@NativeStorage not found](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/nativestorage-not-found/58010/3):
>
> What version of Ionic Native are you using? The Native Storage plugin was only added in version 1.3.5 which was released 3 days ago. Make sure you have latest version by running npm i --save ionic-native@latest

Also note that you must restart ionic serve/run so that the plugin takes effect after install it.
