An alternative to 1Password, Bitwarden, the password spreadsheet and the envelope in the safe
IronVault
Everything the people who depend on you need, sealed until it's needed.
IronVault keeps your passwords, bank details, documents and critical information encrypted so that nobody — not even us — can read them. If you die or become unable to act, the family members or business partners you chose can open it together, and not before.

Private and shared vaults
Everyone keeps a private vault, plus shared vaults for a household, a partnership or a business, which every member can always open. For a family that is the bank, the insurance, the children's medicine and the people to call. For business partners it is the company's accounts and the logins that only one partner ever knew.
An emergency kit you control
Print the parts of your key and give them to the people you trust — a spouse, a business partner, your attorney, a safe-deposit box. One part alone opens nothing. You decide how many it takes.
Nothing opens behind your back
Every emergency request alerts you and waits out the period you chose. One click cancels it.
Share only what you choose
Give a babysitter, an accountant or an executor access to particular folders, and nothing else.
Built for the day it's needed
The people holding key parts get a plain emergency page, and do not need an account of their own to start.
Not even we can read it
Your information is encrypted before it leaves your device, and we never hold the key. That is the point, and it has a price — lose your password and your emergency kit together, and nobody can recover what was in the vault.
