Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I lose my password?

During registration, you'll receive recovery codes that can restore access to your account. Store these safely - they're your backup if you forget your password. Due to our zero-knowledge architecture, these codes are the only way to recover access. Watch our registration walkthrough in the How It Works section to see how it works.

How secure is Killswitch really?

We use the same encryption architecture as 1Password and Bitwarden - AES-256-GCM encryption with keys derived from your password. Files are encrypted in your browser before upload. Learn more on our Under the Hood page.

Can I try it before committing?

Absolutely! Start with a 7-day free trial on our Starter plan. A credit card is required to start, but you can cancel anytime before the trial ends.

What file types can I upload?

Any file type - PDFs, images, documents, spreadsheets, and more. Common uses include wills, insurance policies, tax documents, and family photos.

How do beneficiaries access the files?

When a deadman switch triggers, beneficiaries receive a unique secure link via email. They don't need a Killswitch account - they can download their assigned files directly.

What happens if a deadman switch triggers accidentally?

There is a grace period you can set to give you extra time to check-in. If one does trigger and you didn't want it to, you have full control of the share links and can revoke them immediately.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data stays intact, but deadman switches won't work without an active subscription. You won't have access to any features without an active subscription. If you delete your account, we immediately delete everything and cannot recover it.
