Passwords

Edited

Keep essential access details organized—without replacing your password manager.

The Passwords category is designed for the access points that keep your household running day to day.

It’s not meant to replace a dedicated password manager. Instead, it complements one—giving you a secure, centralized place to document critical codes, combinations, and sign-in context alongside the rest of your life.

What is the Passwords category?

Passwords is where you store important access details that others may need to reference—especially in real-life situations where context matters just as much as the code itself.

Think beyond just “passwords.” This is about access.

When should you use it?

Use the Passwords category for the practical, often-shared access points across your household. Common examples include:

Home access codes
Garage doors, gates, alarm panels, or lockboxes—anything someone may need in an emergency or when helping out.

Device access
Phone or laptop passcodes, along with guidance on when and how they should be used.

Password manager details
The sign-in information or instructions needed to access your primary password keeper (stored thoughtfully and securely).

Wi-Fi and security systems
Network passwords, router details, or home security system codes.

Special-use combinations
Medicine lockboxes, safes, or any controlled-access storage.

How it works

Each item you create in Passwords is a full Trustworthy page, which means you can:

  • Store the access detail (password, PIN, or code)

  • Add context and instructions so others know when and how to use it

  • Attach files or notes for additional clarity

  • Set reminders (for example, to update or rotate a code periodically)

Connect access to what it belongs to

One of the most powerful features is the ability to link Passwords to other parts of your account.

For example:
If you store your gate code in Passwords, you can connect it to your home in the Property category.

This creates a more complete picture—so when someone is looking at your home details, they can also find the access they need, in context.

Best practices

  • Use alongside a password manager
    Store your primary passwords in a dedicated tool, and use Trustworthy for visibility, context, and backup access planning.

  • Add instructions, not just codes
    A password alone may not be enough. Include when it should be used, and by whom.

  • Be thoughtful with access
    Share only what’s necessary, with the right people, at the right level of access.

  • Set reminders to keep things current
    Rotating codes regularly helps keep your household secure.

Why it matters

In the moments that matter—planned or unexpected—access shouldn’t be a barrier.

The Passwords category helps ensure the right people can step in, with clarity and confidence, without searching, guessing, or getting locked out.

A simple way to start

Add one item you use regularly:

Your home Wi-Fi password
or
Your garage or gate code

Then connect it to the relevant place in your account.
