MoatKey · Families

A family password manager for sharing passwords with your family

The Wi-Fi password, the electric bill login, the school portal. Households share a lot of accounts, and texting passwords around gets messy. MoatKey gives your family one shared place for them, and keeps everything personal private.

One shared Castle for the household

In MoatKey, accounts live in Castles. Your own private Castle, My Castle, holds the logins only you can see. A shared Castle is a separate space with its own key. Everyone you invite gets that key sealed to their own account, and nobody hands over a master password.

A common setup is a Castle called "Family accounts" for the utilities, the streaming services, the school portals and the pediatrician's login. Each person still has a private Castle for their own things.

Private vaults stay private

Sharing one Castle shares only that Castle. Your private Castle can't be shared, so what you keep there stays yours. You can also sort Castles into Personal, Family and Work tabs to keep things tidy. Those tabs are only labels. They never change who can see what.

Invite family members

1. Open the shared Castle and choose Members.
2. Under Invite someone, enter their email and choose what they can do.
3. They sign in or create a MoatKey account with that same email and choose Accept.
4. You confirm them on the Members screen. Nobody is added automatically.

An invitation is open for 7 days. Before you add someone, MoatKey asks you to compare a safety number with them, on a call or in person. If it matches, you know you are sharing with the real person. How safety numbers work.

Roles for parents, partners and kids

• Viewer can use and copy logins but change nothing. A good fit for a child who needs the school login.
• Editor can use, add and change logins.
• Castle Admin can also invite and remove people.
• The owner created the Castle and can delete it.

For more detail see Roles, admins and the activity log. To give someone a different role, remove them and invite them again.

The Family plan and its price

MoatKey has a Free plan that lets you share one Castle with one other person, which is enough to try it with a partner. The Family plan is $4.99 a month or $49.90 a year. It adds unlimited saved items and shared Castles, up to 6 people, the Dungeon for your most important accounts, Secure Drop, and comments and requests. Plans renew automatically until you cancel, and canceling takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for. The full list is in the plans section.

The honest limits

MoatKey is designed so we can't read your vault, and your logins are encrypted on your device before they sync. That also means we can't reset your master password. Each family member needs to save their own Emergency Kit. MoatKey has had an internal security review and no independent audit yet.
