BlockWill

Secret Manager

One place to see every BlockWill Secret you have saved, across every vault, with when it was last opened.

Every BlockWill Secret you choose to save lands here, from every Secure and Legacy Vault you have. It exists so that a passphrase you set months ago on a vault you rarely open is still findable.

The whole page sits behind a verification check: a passkey, or the 6-digit code from your authenticator app if you use one. Entering it is itself an event worth recording, which is why it asks every time.

A tour of Secret Manager (0:19)

Search by name, filter with All, Secure or Legacy, and read the list of cards. Each card shows the secret's name, which vault it belongs to, a Value hidden marker, and when it was last opened, or Never accessed.

The status badges

BadgeMeaning
Secure VaultBelongs to an active Secure Vault
LegacyBelongs to a Legacy Vault you have inherited or created
ExpiredThe vault is gone, or your access to it was revoked

An Expired card is worth attention: the secret is still stored here but the vault it opened no longer exists, so it protects nothing. It is safe to delete.

Viewing a secret

Opening a saved secret (0:14)

Click View secret and verify again. The dialog opens with the value hidden: click Reveal value to show it, Hide to cover it again, or Copy value to put it on the clipboard. Opening a secret is recorded against it, and the dialog shows how many times it has been accessed.

Editing

Renaming a secret (0:15)

The name and description are yours to change, then click Save Changes. The passphrase itself is a property of the vault, not of this card. Rotate BlockWill Secret in the same dialog changes the vault's passphrase and the saved copy together.

Access history

When a secret was last opened (0:10)

Each card carries a last-accessed timestamp, such as Accessed 1 minute ago. The count appears in the View dialog.

This tells you when and how often, not who. If you need the actor, use Settings then Security logs, which records identity against each event.

The timestamp on the card does not refresh immediately after you close the View dialog. It updates on a full page reload. The access was recorded; the card is just behind.

Deleting

Removing a saved secret (0:10)

Click Delete on the card, then Delete again in the confirmation. Deleting removes the saved copy from Secret Manager. It does not change the vault: the passphrase still opens it. If this was your only record of that passphrase, you have just lost your way in.
