Family Access

How do I invite family members?

Last reviewed: July 6, 2026

Family access takes two steps — one in the app, one in person. Both matter.

Step 1: send the invite

Go to Account Settings → Family Access → Add Family Members and enter their name and email. They get an invite link and create their own NestVault login — their own email, their own account password. Your whole family is included in your plan; there’s no extra charge per person.

Step 2: share your vault password — directly

Their new login gets them to the door; your vault password is what opens it. They’ll enter it at every sign-in to decrypt the vault. NestVault never transmits your vault password — not in the invite email, not in the app — by design, so this step is yours: share it in person, on paper, or via a shared password manager. Do not send it by text or email. More on why in How to share your vault password safely.

Before you invite, understand the model

An invited family member sees your entire vault — the shared vault password decrypts everything. You can keep specific entries private with the per-entry “Share with” control, but the default is everything. Read What can family members see? before your first invite, not after.
