How do I manage recipients?

By Chris Winfield-Blum • August 18, 2026

Recipients are people who should receive a vault's contents after it unlocks. Manage them in two places:

  • On a vault — attach existing recipients or add a new name and email while editing the vault.
  • Recipients list — /recipients lets you create, edit, and delete recipients, including bulk delete.

The same recipient can be attached to more than one vault. When a vault unlocks, each attached recipient is emailed a signed access link. Recipients then open the contents from Shared Vaults or from that email link.
