The accounts someone would need, if you could not manage them.
Relay holds them encrypted, opens only what you chose for the person you chose, and only once a real emergency has been confirmed by someone you trust — then closes again when you recover. One price for the whole family, $119 a year.
It closes again
Every other way of doing this is a door you open once. Recover, check in, and access ends on its own — which is what makes it safe to set up before you need it.
We cannot read it
Secrets are encrypted in your browser before they reach us. We hold ciphertext, and we are honest on exactly what we can see.
Someone has to say yes
Nothing opens on a timer or a guess. A person you named confirms the situation is real, and never sees anything of yours.
Were you named by someone?
If someone has asked you to be a recipient or a trusted contact, they will have given you a code — they may have read it out, texted it, or written it down. Enter it at relaystandby.com/claim. A real message from Relay never asks you to click a link and then enter anything — if a message claiming to be from us does, it is not from us.
