The codes that run your life live everywhere — and nowhere.
The garage keypad. The safe combination you set once and half-remember. The Wi-Fi password taped to the router. The alarm code only one person in the house actually knows. None of it fits neatly in a notes app, and writing it on a sticky note rather defeats the purpose.
The Vault is Squirreld's home for exactly this kind of thing: the short, important secrets that don't belong in your head, on the fridge, or in a screenshot — and that someone you trust may need to find later.
Four kinds of secret, one calm place.
Every Vault entry is one of four types. Here's what each is for, with the things people actually store.
-
🔒 Lock combinationsThe number sequences you'd be stuck without: a home safe or gun safe, the fireproof box, a storage-unit padlock, the shed lock, bike and gym lockers, even a TSA luggage lock.
-
🔑 PasswordsThe shared, household ones you look up constantly — the guest Wi-Fi, the family laptop, the router's admin login, the smart-TV or streaming account everyone uses, and that one old site that has no working "reset password."
-
🔢 PINsShort codes that unlock real things: the alarm system, a smart lock, the garage keypad, voicemail, the thermostat, a kid's tablet, or the parental-control PIN you set and forgot.
-
＃ CodesEverything else worth keeping: the gate call-box code, a building or lockbox entry code, an appliance service code, or the account recovery / backup codes you were told to "keep somewhere safe."
A little more than just the secret.
Each entry holds just enough to make it useful months — or years — from now, when you've forgotten the details:
-
What it isA name and type, so "Front gate" and "Garage safe" don't blur together.
-
The secret itselfThe combination, password, PIN, or code — like 12-24-36 or hunter2.
-
Username optionalFor the logins where the password alone isn't enough.
-
Where it's usedWhich lock, device, or site it belongs to — "front gate," "work laptop," "bank site." This is the part future-you will be grateful for.
Masked, encrypted, and yours.
Nothing in the Vault is shown until you ask for it. Secrets sit masked on screen and are only un-masked when you tap to reveal — so a glance over your shoulder, or a screen-share, doesn't give anything away.
Behind that, entries are encrypted at rest and visible to you alone. Letting a partner or trusted family member into your Vault is coming soon — until it ships, no one else can see what's inside. The full story lives on the security page.
A vault that can tap you on the shoulder.
Secrets go stale. Any Vault entry can carry a reminder, so Squirreld can nudge you down the road — "it's been a while, maybe rotate this password," or "re-check the people who have the alarm code." Set it once and forget you set it; that's rather the point. It's the same calm nudge behind everything Squirreld reminds you about.
Common questions
-
Is it safe to store passwords and codes in Squirreld?Yes. Vault secrets are encrypted with a dedicated key in AWS KMS before they reach the database, and they stay masked on screen until you tap to reveal — so a glance over your shoulder gives nothing away. The full story is on the security page.
-
How is the Vault different from a password manager?A password manager lives in your browser to autofill website logins. The Vault is for the household secrets those tools ignore — the safe combination, the garage code, the guest Wi-Fi password, the alarm PIN — kept alongside the rest of your records, masked and encrypted.
-
Can my family see my vault?Not yet. Today your Vault is visible to you alone. Letting a partner or trusted family member into exactly what you choose is coming soon.
-
What kinds of things go in the Vault?Lock combinations, passwords, PINs, and codes — the home safe, the gate keypad, guest Wi-Fi, the alarm disarm code, account recovery codes — the short, important secrets that don't belong on a sticky note.
