Vault for startups

The company logins that are only in the founder’s password manager, until they are not

Early on, one founder holds everything: the domain registrar, the cloud console, the payment provider, the analytics account, the social profiles. It works until that founder is on a flight and the payment provider needs re-authorising. Vault moves those logins into collections the team is granted by name, encrypted in the browser, recoverable through escrow your admins control, and logged on every read.

Included in every plan. No per-seat charge, no per-tool upsell.

In practice

What Vault does for startups

01

Collections for infrastructure, finance and marketing

Group the registrar, cloud and deployment logins in one collection, banking and payment providers in another, ad and social accounts in a third — and share each with the people whose job it is, not with everyone.

02

Encrypted before it leaves the browser

Every item is encrypted on the member’s device with a key derived from their passphrase. The server holds ciphertext only, which is the answer when your first enterprise customer’s security review asks how you store shared credentials.

03

Escrow recovery, so a lost passphrase is not a lost company

A forgotten passphrase is recovered through an escrow flow controlled by your organisation’s admins, restoring access without weakening the encryption or emailing a password to anyone.

04

An audit log from day one

Every read, share and change is recorded with the actor and the time. When the seed round’s diligence asks who has had access to the production console, the log answers.

One platform

Where Vault hands off for a startup team

Vault shares with the same members and roles as every other tool, so an early employee who leaves and is marked inactive in HRMS loses access to every shared login at the same moment — the offboarding step startups most often discover they skipped. Rotating the credentials is still your job; knowing which ones is not.

Questions startup teams ask about Vault

Can we start with Vault before we adopt anything else?

Yes. Tools are switched on per organisation, so a startup can create its organisation, invite the team and use Vault alone. The members and roles you set up carry over the day you enable hiring, boards or payroll.

Is there browser autofill or a mobile app?

Not yet. Vault runs in the browser tab with copy-to-clipboard for credentials; a browser extension with autofill and a mobile app are planned but not available. A dedicated password manager has both today, which is the honest trade-off.

What if the only admin leaves?

Only an Admin can make another Admin, so keep two. Escrow recovery is controlled by your organisation’s admins, and if every admin is gone we help the remaining owners regain administrative access to the organisation — but no one, including us, can decrypt vault items without a member’s passphrase or the escrow your admins hold.

Want Vault set up for your startup team?

It comes with every plan, alongside the other tools. Tell us your team size and we set up a working organisation for you to try.
