How it works

Three steps to
secure sharing.

From naming your group to syncing items across every device — sharing in ZZPass takes about a minute, and runs on your own keys.

Step 01 · Create

Name the group, you're the owner.

Group name
Family
Suggestions
Family Work team Travel buddy Roommates

Pick any name — Family, Work Team, Travel Buddy. You're the owner, and your device generates the group's encryption key on the spot.

Step 02 · Invite

Add people by name.

Invited

Invite by email or phone. They get a notification, accept on their device, and the group's key is securely re-wrapped just for them. No links, no codes.

Step 03 · Share

Move items in, everyone sees them.

Drop in passwords, notes, TOTP codes, even passkeys. Members see updates instantly across iPhone, iPad and Mac — no refresh, no export.

Everything in your vault

Share more than
just passwords.

Every type of item ZZPass stores can be shared — encrypted with the group's unique key before it ever leaves your device.

Your copy, your control

You always keep
your own copy.

When you share an item, ZZPass keeps a private copy in your vault and creates a synced copy in the group. You're never one-tap away from losing your own data.

  • Edits flow both ways — update either copy, both stay in sync
  • Leave the group? Your private copy stays in your vault
  • Sharing is opt-in per item — never all-or-nothing
  • You never lose access to your own data
Sharing in ZZPass is additive, not destructive.
Encrypted at every step

Even we can't see
what you share.

Every group is its own cryptographic island. Keys are derived on your device, wrapped per member, and rotated automatically when the group changes.

Unique group key

Every group gets its own AES-256 encryption key. Items are encrypted before they ever leave your device.

AES-256-GCM

Per-person key wrapping

The group key is individually encrypted for each member with ECIES (P-256). Only accepted members can unwrap it.

Invite-only access

No public links, no "anyone with the link" option. Every member is explicitly invited — and must accept.

No public links

Zero-knowledge sync

Data syncs through iCloud — Apple only sees encrypted blobs. No proprietary servers, no third-party access.

Forward secrecy

Each key exchange uses a fresh ephemeral key. Compromising one envelope never compromises another.

Ephemeral · per-message
Owner & member

Clear control,
no surprises.

Two roles, simple boundaries. The owner sets the group up; members live in it. Everyone always keeps their own copies.

Real-time sync

Change it once,
updated everywhere.

Edits propagate to every member's iPhone, iPad, and Mac in seconds — silently, in the background.

  • Native apps on iPhone, iPad and Mac
  • Offline edits sync automatically when you reconnect
  • No manual refresh, no export / import
  • Notifications when shared items change
Sharing made for real life

For the people you
actually share with.

Pick a shape that fits. Groups can be as small as two people, as fluid as a trip, as long-running as a household.

Family · 4 members

Family

Share the Wi-Fi password, streaming logins, and the alarm code. Everyone in the house stays connected.

Joint bank accounts, utility logins, insurance details — all in one shared group, always up to date.

Teams

Share work credentials. When someone leaves, remove them — the key rotates and items re-encrypt.

Trip · 14 days

Travel

Hotel bookings, rental car PINs, travel insurance docs. Share with your travel partner; delete when home.

Attachments & files

Share more than
just credentials.

Attach scanned passports, insurance PDFs, photos. Files travel with their parent item — encrypted with the group's key, every byte of the way.

  • Re-encrypted with the group key — never plaintext
  • Filename and file type encrypted alongside the file
  • Move a credential, the files come with it
  • Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
TimeCapsule in groups

Lock a note
for your loved ones.

Share a TimeCapsule in a group — members see your custom message while it's sealed, and get notified the moment it opens.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is sharing free or premium?
Shared groups are available to all ZZPass users — free and premium alike. We think security is the kind of thing that shouldn't sit behind a paywall.
How many people can I add to a group?
There's no hard limit. Invite as many people as you need — a couple, a family, a small team, a whole travel group.
What happens if I remove someone from a group?
They lose access immediately. The group's encryption key is automatically rotated and every item is re-encrypted, so former members can't decrypt anything — even data they synced before being removed.
Can members invite other people?
No. Only the group owner can invite and remove members. This keeps the trust circle explicit — every member is somebody you (or the owner) personally said yes to.
What happens if I leave a group?
Your private copies of shared items stay in your vault. You only lose access to items you didn't originally own — items the rest of the group still keeps.
Do shared items count toward my password limit?
The private copies in your vault count toward your limit. Free users can store 25 passwords; Premium has no cap.
Can I share passkeys and TOTP codes?
Yes. Passwords, passkeys, TOTP codes, secure notes, attachments, and TimeCapsules can all be shared in a group — every type of item ZZPass stores.
