Credentials Vault

A secure place to store the passwords, API keys, database credentials, certificates, and other secrets your team relies on. Every sensitive value is encrypted before it's stored, so only people you've granted access can see them.

Credentials Vault questions

Who can see my credentials?+

Only you (the owner) and the teammates you've explicitly added under Shared Access. Members of your org without that share won't see the credential at all.

Can Nautis support staff read my passwords?+

No. Secret values are encrypted before they leave your browser-side request. They're decrypted only when an authorised user opens them in the UI.

What happens to shared credentials when a teammate leaves?+

When their account is removed from your organization, they lose access automatically. You may want to rotate the underlying secret as a precaution.

Can I export my credentials?+

Not directly — exporting bulk secrets in plain text would defeat the point of an encrypted vault. Copy individual values when you need them.

What's the difference between Client ID / Secret, API Key, and Token?+

They're all secrets, but each has its own form so the right labels show up. Pick the one that matches what your service calls it; if in doubt, use Other.

Can I recover a deleted credential?+

No. Delete is permanent — that's why Nautis asks you to confirm.

Is there a master password?+

Access is gated by Nautis auth + module permissions. Strong account security (2FA) is recommended.

How is the encryption key managed?+

Keys are managed inside Nautis with rotation. Sensitive metadata never leaves the encrypted boundary.
