DigiSafe is a secure platform for managing and passing on your digital legacy. We help you organize important digital assets like passwords, documents, social media accounts, and more, ensuring they're securely stored and can be accessed by your chosen beneficiaries when the time comes.
Category: General
DigiSafe functions as a secure digital vault. You upload or enter your digital assets and information, assign beneficiaries to specific assets or groups of assets, and set conditions for access. We handle the secure storage, encryption, and eventual transfer of access according to your specifications.
Category: General
DigiSafe offers several advantages over physical records: bank-level encryption keeps your data secure; automatic updates ensure information stays current; customized access control lets you decide exactly who gets what information; and our platform provides step-by-step guidance for your beneficiaries when the time comes.
Category: General
DigiSafe supports a wide range of digital assets including: login credentials for online accounts, financial information, important documents (wills, insurance policies, etc.), digital media like photos and videos, cryptocurrency wallet information, social media accounts, email accounts, subscription services, and digital property like domain names or online businesses.

Yes. We use AES-256 encryption, the industry standard for secure data storage. Additionally, we implement strict authentication protocols and regular security audits to ensure your information remains protected at all times.
Category: Security & Privacy
Only the beneficiaries you specifically assign will have access when it's time to retrieve them. You set the conditions and choose who gets access to what. No one, including our staff, can access your encrypted data without proper authorization.
Category: Security & Privacy
No. Your sensitive information is encrypted before it reaches our servers using client-side encryption. This means your data is encrypted on your device before transmission, and we don't possess the decryption keys. Our zero-knowledge architecture ensures that not even our technical team can view your actual content.
Category: Security & Privacy
We've implemented multiple layers of security to protect against breaches. In the unlikely event of a security incident, your data remains encrypted and inaccessible without your master password, which is never stored on our servers. We also maintain regular backups, conduct penetration testing, and follow industry best practices for incident response.
Category: Security & Privacy
Security is our priority, which means we don't store your master password. However, we offer recovery options including a secure recovery key that you can store offline and optional trusted contacts who can help initiate a recovery process.
Category: Security & Privacy
We employ a multi-factor authentication process for beneficiaries. Depending on your settings, this may include email verification, phone verification, identity document submission, or verification through trusted contacts you've designated. You can customize the level of verification required based on the sensitivity of the assets.
Category: Security & Privacy
After creating your account, you can easily add assets through our intuitive dashboard. Simply select the type of asset (password, document, social account, etc.), enter the relevant details, and assign beneficiaries if desired. You can organize assets into categories and update them anytime.
Category: Account Management
In your dashboard, navigate to the 'Beneficiaries' section to add people by email address. You can then assign specific assets or categories of assets to each beneficiary, and set conditions for access. Beneficiaries will receive instructions on how to claim their assigned assets when appropriate.
Category: Account Management
Yes, you have complete control over who gets access to what and when. For example, you can grant immediate access to certain documents for your spouse, while setting up time-delayed access for children or other family members. You can also require verification from trusted contacts before access is granted.
Category: Account Management
You can update your stored information anytime by logging into your account and accessing the relevant asset. Our system also sends periodic reminders to review and update your information to ensure everything stays current.
Category: Account Management
We recommend reviewing your stored information at least every 6 months, or whenever you create new accounts, change passwords, or acquire new digital assets. Our platform includes a convenient 'Last Updated' indicator for each asset to help you keep track.
Category: Account Management
You can choose from several options: manual release (you decide when to grant access), inactivity trigger (if you haven't logged in for a predetermined period), verification by trusted contacts, or integration with third-party death notification services. You control these settings in your account preferences.
