Your Trusted Circle Key

A spare key for your vault, kept safe by the people you trust. No one can use it alone — and we can never get in without you.

How it works, in plain English

When you switch this on, your Trusted Circle becomes more than a quiet promise — they hold a spare key for you. If you ever forget your Master Key or lose your device, your circle can quietly help you back in.

No one in your circle can act alone. It takes a few of them coming together. And while you're fine, they don't see your vault, your documents, or anything else.

What we'll ask you for

1

At least four Keyholders

People already in your Trusted Circle. Four is the magic number — enough that no small accident locks you out, small enough to feel personal.
2

(With four Keyholders) a personal Backup Code

A short code we'll give you to keep somewhere safe. We'll only show it to you once. If you invite five or more Keyholders, you don't need to remember anything at all.
3

Nothing else

Your Keyholders just confirm with their own Master Key. That's it. We never see anything that lets us open your vault.

If you're ever locked out

You ask your circle for help. We let your Keyholders know one by one. We wait a little while — a full day — and tell you everywhere, so only you can really come back in. If something doesn't look right, you can stop the request from your phone with one tap.

About your plan

Trusted Circle Key is part of every trial and paid plan. If you move to a free plan, we switch it off and delete it right away — for your safety and ours. We'll tell you, and we'll tell everyone in your circle, in plain words. They don't need to do anything; they're still in your Trusted Circle for everything else.

When you're back on a trial or paid plan, you can set it up again in a couple of taps.

Common questions

Can my circle open my vault without me?
Never. It only ever works when you ask, and then only after a safety pause where you can stop everything.
What happens if a Keyholder leaves my Trusted Circle?
We let you know the next time you open Fyldit, and we re-set it up in one tap. No paper to shuffle, no codes to reprint.
What if I change my mind?
You can switch it off any time from your Trusted Circle Key page in Settings.
Can someone else start a recovery in my name?
They can try, but you'll know — instantly, by email, in the app, and via your Keyholders. We always wait a little while and never open anything in secret.

Never get locked out.

Let your circle hold a spare key. They have your back when you need them, and never before.
