API Keys & Secrets —
stop storing them in Slack

API keys in Slack messages, .env files committed to Git, plaintext docs shared over email — all of these are how production secrets get leaked. Vault stores your keys encrypted, accessible to the right team members, with a full audit trail.

Key Management

Structure around your API credentials — not just a text dump.

Key + Secret + Endpoint

Each API key entry has dedicated fields for the key ID (public identifier), the secret (the sensitive value), and the endpoint URL. Add environment context (production, staging, sandbox) and expiry date so you always know which key belongs where.

Environment Labels

Tag each API key with its environment — production, staging, development, sandbox. Visual color coding in the list makes it immediately clear which environment a key belongs to. Critical for preventing accidentally using a production key in a test script.

Expiry Tracking

Set an expiry date on any API key. Vault warns you when a key is approaching its expiry date so you can rotate before it causes an outage. Keys past their expiry are visually flagged — no more surprise authentication failures in production.

One-Click Copy

Copy the key, secret, or endpoint URL independently with a single click. Secrets are masked by default and require a click to reveal. The clipboard is cleared automatically after 30 seconds — no keys left floating in clipboard managers.

Team Access & Security

The right people have access — and you know exactly who did what.

Shared Team Vaults

Store company API keys in a shared vault that all relevant team members can access. New team members get access when they're added to the vault — no "can you send me the Stripe key" in chat. When someone leaves, revoke their vault access in seconds.

Access Without Sharing Plaintext

Vault sharing uses RSA-4096 key exchange. The vault key is encrypted with each member's public key — no plaintext credentials are ever transmitted when sharing access. Even the team owner cannot intercept a member's decryption.

Full Audit Trail

Every access to an API key entry — viewed, copied, modified, deleted — is logged with timestamp, user identity, and IP address. Know who retrieved the production Stripe key and when. Essential for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and incident investigation.

Organized by Service

Create folders per service or product area — AWS, Stripe, Email, Analytics, Internal — so team members can navigate directly to the category they need. Search also works across all API key entries by name or endpoint.

What developers store here

Cloud & Infrastructure

AWS access keys, GCP service account credentials, Azure client secrets, Cloudflare API tokens, DigitalOcean tokens — the keys that have the most destructive potential if compromised.

Payment & Commerce

Stripe secret keys (live and test), PayPal credentials, webhook signing secrets, and payment gateway tokens. Separate live and test credentials clearly to prevent costly mistakes.

AI & External Services

OpenAI API keys, Anthropic tokens, SendGrid keys, Twilio auth tokens, and any other third-party service credentials that belong to the company rather than any individual developer.
