Share with others
Vaults are containers for items like your passwords and documents. Your Private vault is where you’ll keep personal items you don’t want to share, like your email password.
If you invite people to your family account, you’ll see a Shared vault for items everyone in your family needs access to, like your Wi-Fi and Netflix passwords.
To share something with everyone in your family, create an item in your Shared vault or move an item to it.
Create additional vaults
