Your passwords vs their passwords.
1Password stores passwords you and your team own and use. keyhold.io collects and manages secrets that clients hand over to you. Different tools for different jobs.
The core difference
One manages what you own. The other manages what clients give you.
1Password
Password Manager
- Stores passwords you own and use daily
- Great for sharing credentials within your team
- Syncs to devices with autofill and browser extensions
- Your SaaS logins, internal systems, personal accounts
"Where do I put my own passwords?"
keyhold.io
Client Secret Collection
- Collects secrets clients give you
- Send a link, they submit securely — no Slack, no email
- Organised by Client → Project → Secret
- Firewall credentials, VPN keys, cloud logins — from clients
"How do I collect client credentials securely?"
The problem we actually solve
If you're an MSP, data centre, or agency, clients need to hand you sensitive credentials. Today, that probably happens over email or Slack.
The status quo
- "Can you send me the firewall password?" → Client emails it in plaintext
- "I need the VPN credentials" → They paste it in Slack
- "What's the cloud portal login?" → Screenshot in a ticket
With keyhold.io
- Send a secure request link → Client submits encrypted in their browser
- Credentials land in the right client folder, organised by project
- Your team can reveal when needed — every access is logged
Why not just use 1Password for this?
You could, technically. But it's not what it's designed for.
Different purpose
keyhold.io is designed around requesting ephemeral credentials from external parties. Send a link, they submit securely — no accounts needed on their end.
Not organised for clients
1Password organises by vaults and tags. keyhold.io organises by Client → Project → Secret. Built for managing multiple clients.
Different audit needs
When you're holding client credentials, you need to know exactly who on your team accessed what, and when. That's core to keyhold.io.
No offline copies
For your own passwords, syncing to devices is great. For client credentials you're holding temporarily? You probably don't want them cached on laptops.
Role-based client access
Control which team members can see which clients — or even specific projects within a client. Junior techs see their assigned work. Policies enforce it.
Zero-knowledge by default
Secrets are encrypted in the client's browser before submission. We can't read them. Your team decrypts on-demand.
Use both. They don't overlap.
Different tools for different jobs. Here's the simple breakdown.
1Password
- Your company's SaaS logins (Office 365, AWS, etc.)
- Shared team accounts you own and manage
- Personal passwords for daily use
- Anything you need autofill for
keyhold.io
- Client firewall/router credentials
- VPN PSKs and connection details from clients
- API keys and env files clients provide
- Any credential a client needs to hand you
"1Password for your passwords. keyhold.io for your clients' passwords."
