Explore security01 / The challenge
Your firm handles the accounts that matter most to clients - banking, tax, and payroll. A notebook of passwords or a spreadsheet on the desktop is a risk you can't explain to a client.
Convenient, until someone snaps a photo of the desk or copies the file. Then every client's data leaks at once.
An intern handles three clients but has access to the passwords of all eighty, because there was no other way.
The bank code goes to the client's phone, a security token sits in an email, and the payroll password expired in the middle of month-end close.
02 / How Inlockly helps
A folder per client
Create a folder for each client and assign the accountants who work with them. Reassigning a client means changing permissions in one place.
2FA codes and security info
Save 2FA keys in client account items, and tokens and instructions in encrypted notes. Everything you need to sign in is in one place.
Change history
Every password change has an author and a date, and the firm log shows permission changes and sharing. When a client asks who had access to their accounts, you have the answer.
90 days of company data history

Move passwords from a CSV spreadsheet or your browser. Then sort the items into client folders.
Give each accountant access to the folders of the clients they handle. Turn off password viewing for interns.
Send invitations and approve new people. Everyone also gets their own private vault.
