How can we help?
Setting up Vallkey, bringing your passwords, sharing, running a team, and getting back in if you're locked out.
Getting started
Your account, Vallkey on each device, and vaults kept only on them.
- Getting started with VallkeyCreate your account, save your Emergency Kit, and install Vallkey on your devices, in about five minutes.
- Using Vallkey in your browserThe Vallkey extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and the browsers built on them: filling logins, the popup, keyboard shortcuts, and when it locks.
- Setting up Vallkey on iPhone and iPadTurn on Face ID or Touch ID, AutoFill for passwords, codes and passkeys, and Vallkey for Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Setting up Vallkey on AndroidMake Vallkey your autofill service and passkey provider on Android, turn on fingerprint unlock, and have Chrome ask Vallkey.
- Vallkey on your computerThe Vallkey apps for Mac, Windows and Linux: how each unlocks, when it locks, and how it works with your browser.
- Unlocking the browser with the desktop appPair the browser extension with Vallkey for Windows or Linux, so one unlock covers both.
- Using the web vaultOpen your Vallkey vault in any browser with nothing to install, and what the web vault does differently from the apps.
- A vault on this device onlyKeep a Vallkey vault on one device with no account and no server: how to make one with a license, what it can't do, and how to back it up.
- Syncing through your own folderKeep a local-only Vallkey vault in step between your devices through iCloud Drive, Dropbox or another folder you share, with no server.
Your vault

- Filling logins, cards and addressesHow Vallkey fills usernames, passwords, one-time codes, payment cards and addresses, and how it decides which page gets what.
- Saving logins and suggested passwordsHow Vallkey offers to save a login after you sign in, updates a changed password, and suggests strong passwords on sign-up forms.

- Sharing a vaultShare a vault with people you choose, to view or edit, and send single items to anyone with share links.
- Sharing one item with a linkSend a single item to someone who doesn't use Vallkey, with a link that expires, can open only once, and can be revoked.

- The command lineUse Vallkey from a terminal with the vallkey command: logging in, unlocking a shell, and listing, reading and saving items.
- Secrets in scripts and CIKeep secrets out of .env files: name them with vallkey:// references, and have Vallkey hand them to a command or fill a config file.
- The SSH agentKeep SSH keys in your Vallkey vault and sign with them from the terminal: making a key, starting the agent, and using it with ssh and git.
- Service accountsGive a script, a server or CI its own Vallkey login: making a service account, sharing vaults with it, using its token, and deleting it.
- Letting an AI agent sign inLet an AI agent sign in to a website with a login from your Vallkey vault, with your approval each time, and without it seeing the password.
Your passwords. Your keys. Your price.
