Every family shares accounts. Netflix, Amazon Prime, utility bills, insurance policies the list goes on. But most families share passwords insecurely: text messages, sticky notes, or the infamous "shared spreadsheet."

There's a better way.

The Problem with How Families Share Passwords

  • Text messages are not encrypted. Anyone with access to a phone can see shared passwords.
  • Sticky notes are visible to visitors. A house guest or repair person can snap a photo.
  • Shared spreadsheets have no access control. Everyone sees everything even private accounts.
  • No audit trail. You never know who changed what or when.

The Solution: AcroVault Family Sharing

AcroVault by Acrolyze includes family sharing with granular permissions:

How It Works

  1. Invite Family Members: Send an invitation from the Family Controls panel. They receive a unique code to join.
  2. Set Module Permissions: For each module (Passwords, Documents, Bank Accounts), choose None, View, or Edit.
  3. Share Individual Items: Toggle "Family Sharing" on any item you want to share. Items without this toggle remain completely private.
  4. Bidirectional Sharing: Family members can also share their items with the group.

What to Share (and What Not to Share)

โœ… Good to share:

  • Streaming services (Netflix, Spotify, Disney+)
  • Shared utility accounts (electricity, internet)
  • Family insurance policies
  • Emergency contacts
  • Household documents

โŒ Keep private:

  • Personal email passwords
  • Individual bank accounts
  • Private notes and journals
  • Work-related credentials

Security That Grows With Your Family

The Family plan ($49/year) includes up to 2 members with full sharing controls. Extra member slots are available at $15/year each. All shared data remains AES-256 encrypted with zero-knowledge architecture.
