Can they maintain their own passwords and we share other passwords, or does the family admin see everyone's vaults and all passwords?

    @kors1pass - I am going to move this to the Families section of the forum, where you should get better help. I hope you don't object.

    Hi @kors1pass

    Thanks for taking the time to write in.

    The short answer is that "Personal" vaults are only ever visible to the user which they are associated with. Any items stored there are inaccessible to anyone else.

    That said, in the interest of full disclosure, admins technically have "the keys to the kingdom." Meaning they have all of the encryption keys. They have to, in order to be able to perform account recovery. This means if an admin were somehow able to get their hands on a user's encrypted data they would have the keys to decrypt it. The software actively prevents this sort of thing, but it is worth noting that the data is not cryptographically protected from account admins. An admin would need to find a way to obtain the user's encrypted data in order to take advantage of this, and there are other measures in place that make it such that it shouldn't be possible.

    Thanks!

    Ben
