Shared access
A shared credential vault for a small team: per-team vaults with simple roles, onboarding in minutes, offboarding in one click, an owner break-glass key, and a plain record of who opened what. Everything a spreadsheet or a personal password manager can't do.
Most small teams share logins the easy way: a spreadsheet, a pinned chat message, a personal password manager stretched to fit. It works right up until someone leaves still holding the passwords, the intern can see the bank login, or a customer asks how you control access and you realise you don't. The fix isn't a security team — it's a vault built so the right people get in and the wrong people are out the moment you decide.
Each card pairs the everyday pain with what the vault does about it. The way your data is protected is documented on the security page.
A new hire needs the shared logins on day one. Hunting them down from three colleagues, pasting them into a chat, and hoping that covers it is how passwords leak and how people sit idle waiting for access.
Add the new person to the groups they work in and the right vaults open up to them automatically — at the role you set. No password ever changes hands in a chat, and you can see exactly what they can reach.
When someone leaves, every shared password they ever saw is effectively theirs forever — unless you change all of them. Most small teams never do, so ex-staff keep access to the bank, the socials, and the supplier portals for months.
Remove the person and their access to every shared vault is gone at once — no per-account password reset marathon. For the most sensitive logins you can rotate on departure too, with the change recorded in the trail.
One big shared folder means everyone can see everything: the intern has the bank login, finance has the social passwords. Least-privilege sounds like an enterprise word, but it just means people only see what their job needs.
Group credentials into vaults by team — Finance, Marketing, Ops — and give each person a plain role: can use, can manage, or no access. The structure mirrors how your team already works, so it stays correct.
The flip side of locking things down: the one person who set it all up gets hit by a bus, goes on leave with the phone off, or simply forgets. A business that can lock its owner out is one bad day from disaster.
As the owner you hold a break-glass path back into the business’s critical vaults — protected, recorded, and never silent. You can structure it so it needs a second trusted person to agree, so no single lost laptop is the end.
When something goes wrong — a charge nobody recognises, a post nobody admits to — the first question is who had access and who opened it. Without a record you are guessing, and a customer asking the same question gets a shrug.
Every vault open, share, role change, and removal is logged in plain language with who and when. Export it when a customer’s security team asks, or just to settle the internal question quickly.
A vault you cannot reach in an incident is worse than a spreadsheet. If the one tool holding every login is down exactly when you need the disaster-recovery credentials, you are stuck.
Glassbreak runs across independent clouds, so the credential you need to recover is reachable even when one provider is having an outage. The break-glass path is built to be available when everything else is not.
The common stand-ins all break at the same place: getting access back when someone leaves, and proving who could reach what.
No roles, no audit, no revocation — a leaver keeps a copy, and anyone with the link sees the bank login. It is the thing your customer’s security questionnaire is specifically checking you do not do.
Built for one person’s logins, not a team’s. Sharing is bolted on, offboarding is partial, there is no real owner break-glass, and nothing maps to the security evidence a customer wants.
It depends on remembering every account, doing it the same day, and it never being skipped under pressure. In practice it is skipped, and old access lingers for months.
The same access control and audit trail is what a customer's security questionnaire is checking for — so tidying this up wins deals as well as preventing leaks.
The vault is the spine: it feeds the emergency call-out the credentials a responder needs, and it produces the access-control evidence a customer asks for. The way it's encrypted is public.
Remove the person from Glassbreak and their access to every shared vault ends immediately — you do not reset each account by hand. For your most sensitive logins you can also rotate the password on departure, and the whole change is captured in the audit trail so you can prove the leaver no longer has access.
Yes — it is a shared credential vault built for a small team: per-team vaults, simple roles, instant onboarding and offboarding, and an audit trail. It goes further than a generic password manager by adding owner break-glass, multi-cloud availability, and security evidence you can hand to a customer.
Break-glass is a protected, recorded path back into your business’s critical vaults for the owner — so locking access down does not mean you can lock yourself out. You can require a second trusted person to approve it, so a single lost device or absent founder never strands the business.
A spreadsheet has no roles, no record of who opened what, and no way to cut off a leaver — anyone with the file or link keeps every password. Glassbreak gives each person only the vaults their job needs, logs every access, and removes a leaver in one click.
No. One owner or ops lead can stand it up in an afternoon: invite the team, move your shared logins into per-team vaults, and set roles. There is no rollout project and nothing to self-host.
Start a free trial and put your shared logins into a per-team vault in under an hour — then test the one-click offboarding for yourself. Or see it in a 10-minute demo against your own team structure.
