Ensure that only your next of kin can access your vault, and only when the time is right.
Store passwords in the vault
End-to-end encrypted to ensure only you have access now, but your family can gain access later.
Your death is reported
Heirs report your death to Upon, safeguards are checked, and your vault is released.
Loved ones gain access
Beneficiaries decrypt the vault to securely access your passwords.
Everyone's circle of trust is different. Upon lets you choose and configure your release conditions to suit your needs.
Your beneficiaries will be responsible for reporting your death. A configurable minimum number of beneficiaries are required to release and decrypt the vault, so that a single beneficiary cannot force early-opening of the vault.
You can set what items each beneficiary can access. Add trusted friends as beneficiaries to let them unlock the vault, without giving them access to all of the contents.
Write a release key into your will or stored separately by your lawyer, to ensure that your lawyer has verified your death and opened the will before your next of kin can release the vault.
Upon can be asked to verify your death certificate before the platform will release the vault. This gives you peace of mind that an independent third party has verified your death before the vault is released.
When all other release conditions are met, grace periods are the final safeguard before a vault is released. During the grace period the vault will remain locked and Upon will notify the vault owner that they have a number of days to prevent the release of the vault to beneficiaries.
Combine release conditions together with and/or logic. Require the release key in your will, and at least one family member, and at least one friend to all be voting to release the vault.
No, you can choose which release conditions you want to use. You can configure any combination of beneficiaries, secret keys, death certificate verification, and grace periods to suit your needs.
Create an anonymous beneficiary key with release-only permissions, and write this key into your will.
Note that release keys must be kept secret before your death. If you openly share your will with your beneficiaries, then have your lawyer keep a sealed letter with the secret key, and instructions to only open it in the event of your death.
Grace periods are a trade-off between your security, and how quickly your next of kin can access the vault. We recommend 7 to 14 days as a middle ground between ensuring you have had a chance to check your emails and notifications, while also allowing your next of kin swift access when they need it most.
