Why this exists
Crypto doesn't get inherited.
It just stops.
A bank account has a next of kin. A wallet has a seed phrase and nothing else. When the person who memorised it is gone, so is the money.
Not stolen — stranded. Chainalysis estimates that 2.8 to 3.8 million coins have sat untouched since Bitcoin's early years. They still exist; nobody alive can move them.
There is no support line and no password reset. If the phrase is gone, the wallet is gone.
A safe, a drawer, a deposit box. It survives fire and flood right up until it doesn't — and your family still has to find it.
Loss estimate: Chainalysis — 2.78–3.79M BTC dormant since Bitcoin's early years. A cumulative total since 2009, not a yearly figure, and an estimate rather than a count.
How It Works
Three steps to protect your digital legacy.
No third-party custody. No plaintext stored. Your secrets stay yours — even after you're gone.
Before you trust us with anything
Why your secrets stay yours.
You shouldn't need to understand cryptography to trust us with something this important. Here is what it means in plain English — and where to check each promise for yourself.
Unreadable before it leaves your device
Your passwords and recovery phrases are encrypted on your own device, before anything is stored or sent. What reaches our servers is unreadable text — never the secrets themselves.
See how encryption works →We hold the timer, not your passwords
Your key is split into three pieces. We keep two of them encrypted, and only bring them together if your check-ins stop. We publish exactly what we hold — and what could still go wrong.
Read our security model →It still works if we disappear
The code that opens a vault is public and permanently archived. Decrypting doesn't depend entirely on VaultPass — not on our servers staying online, our app, or an active subscription.

Built in the open by a named founder, Suresh Kumar Ramar, with a published security review and a standing invitation for researchers to find our flaws.

Instead of testimonials
We're early. Judge the code, not the quotes.
VaultPass is a young product, so we have no customer stories worth printing yet. Here is what you can verify without trusting us.
Under the hood
The detail, if you want it.
Everything above, stated precisely — the algorithms, the key-splitting scheme, our audit status, and a snippet you can paste into your own browser console to check the encryption yourself.
Why not just 1Password or Bitwarden?
They're great password managers.
Inheritance is an afterthought.
Both encrypt on your device — and we respect them. But neither is built for crypto succession. That's the whole point of VaultPass.
| Feature | 1Password / Bitwarden | VaultPass |
|---|---|---|
| Client-side encryption | Yes | Yes |
| Purpose-built for crypto seed phrases | General credentials | Yes |
| Inheritance model | Bolt-on emergency access | Dead man's switch + grace period |
| How the heir gets your key | Access to your whole vault | Shamir 2-of-3 — released only when the switch fires |
| Recovery if the company shuts down | Vault tied to their service | Open-source recovery — decrypt without us |
The unique advantage:VaultPass is built ground-up for crypto succession — a dead man's switch, Shamir-sharded keys, and recovery that survives even us.
