Frequently Asked Questions
Here's everything you need to know about SAFE Portal: how it works, what it protects, and how to get started. Still have a question? Please reach out, because we're happy to talk.
What is SAFE Portal?
SAFE Portal (Secure Access For Everyone Portal) is a comprehensive suite of online safety tools for accessing the modern internet.
It has three pieces that build off of one another.
- The core is a password manager that securely stores all the credentials you use online.
- Wrapped around that is a single sign-in platform that logs you into those services with a single click of a button.
- On top of both of those is built the SAFE Portal browser, which has a variety of protections against phishing, malicious downloads, and password theft.
How do I actually use the SAFE Portal?
There are several different ways to use the SAFE Portal, each depending on how much protection you want.
- To use the password manager, simply register here and you're good to go.
- If you want to use the single sign-in platform, you will need to login to the account you just made and then download the SAFElogin extension for your current browser.
- Finally, to use the SAFE Portal browser, you need to login to your account and, well, download the SAFE Portal browser.
How much do the SAFE Portal components cost?
There's a free tier to get you started, and the paid plan really is just $1/month.
You can see all the details on our pricing page, but the deal is that the password manager is completely free and there are free versions of both the single sign-in platform and the SAFE Portal browser.
Even though the full-featured versions aren't all free, they can be unlocked on our pricing page for just $1/month, which is basically free.
How does the Family plan work?
On the Premium plan, you have the ability to advise one other account. This means that you can help them identify whether a website is safe for them to visit in their SAFE Portal browser. Whenever they have a question, you will get a notification in your browser, or via SMS if you choose.
Under a Family plan, you can do this for up to 5 other accounts, meaning that everyone you really care about can be fully protected while using their SAFE Portal browsers. Visit the pricing page for more details about the Family plan or the SAFE Portal browser features page for more information about the advisor/advisee features.
Are my passwords actually secure?
Yes. Your SAFE Portal password is never stored in the browser and never sent to our servers in a form we could read. When you log in, your credentials are checked using a zero-knowledge, homomorphic comparison, which means that the server confirms your password is correct without ever seeing it.
Which browsers support the SAFElogin extension?
We are currently under review by the app stores for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. We anticipate getting approval soon, but for now you'll need to use the SAFE Portal browser to access the login and browsing safety features. Head to the downloads page if you'd like to download the SAFE Portal browser for your device.
Which platforms support the SAFE Portal browser?
The SAFE Portal browser runs on Windows, macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux. (Android and iPhone versions are coming soon!) Head to the downloads page if you'd like to download one for your device.
What unique safety features does the SAFE Portal browser have?
The SAFE Portal browser keeps you safe with SAFElist protection against malicious sites, warnings on risky downloads, and protections that stop your passwords from being entered where they shouldn't be. An addition, if you're on a Premium or Family plan, you gain the ability to manage the details of these preferences for others through an interface in your own SAFE Portal browser.
Can I use SAFE Portal for my business?
Absolutely! If you're one of those businesses who operates on the philosophy that, "We're all family here" (and you have 5 or fewer employees), then a Family plan might be perfect for you. If you are a larger business, we would love to work with you to figure out exactly what you need and how we can help. Please visit our business page to learn more.
