Not every secret carries the same risk
A newsletter login and a production admin credential should not need the same amount of friction. PassHero lets you mark important secrets as high security so the app can ask for stronger confirmation at sensitive moments.
This keeps everyday use moving while giving critical secrets a different treatment.
Fresh confirmation before sensitive actions
When a high-security secret is shared, PassHero can require the user to confirm their master password before the action completes. That extra check helps protect against unlocked-device mistakes and rushed sharing.
The point is not to make every click harder. It is to make the risky clicks more intentional.
Pair with other controls
High-security secrets work best alongside encrypted sharing, time delay, and careful offboarding. Together, those controls shape who can access a secret, when it can be revealed, and what confirmation is required.
Use this for the secrets that would cause real disruption if exposed.
How this shows up in PassHero
Secret options include a high-security setting.
High-security sharing can open a master password confirmation dialog.
Premium controls are disabled for plans that do not include them.

FAQ
When should I use high-security secrets?
Use them for credentials with high impact, such as production systems, finance tools, owner accounts, and shared administration logins.
Is high security the same as time delay?
No. High security adds password confirmation for sensitive actions, while time delay adds a waiting period before reveal access becomes available.
