Vault12 Guard Adds Support for Apple’s New Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP), Enabling Inheritance of your Passwords Simple and Secure

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vault12, Inc., the pioneers of crypto inheritance and decentralized backup, today announced that Vault12 Guard(™) now supports Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP), giving iPhone, iPad, and Mac users a secure, standardized way to move their passwords and passkeys into their inheritance Vault to protect their digital legacy.

With this update, anyone running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 can securely import logins, passkeys, verification codes, and even Wi-Fi credentials directly from Apple Passwords, Bitwarden, and other compatible managers into Vault12 Guard—without exporting files or manually copying data. The transfer happens through an OS-controlled flow that maintains encryption between the source app and Vault12 Guard.

“Credential portability has finally arrived,” said Wasim Ahmad, Chief Crypto Officer at Vault12. “By plugging into the CXP standard, Vault12 Guard becomes a neutral, long-term backup and inheritance hub for all your critical credentials—not just crypto seed phrases.”

Once inside Vault12 Guard, credentials are:

• Protected by Guardians – Encrypted, split, and stored across trusted people and devices rather than a single cloud provider - even if you lose your phone.
• Inheritance-ready – Integrated with Vault12’s digital inheritance flows so beneficiaries can recover essential logins and other digital assets.
• Future-proof and portable – Users or beneficiaries can later export their credential bundle from Vault12 Guard back into any compatible password manager that supports the same standard.

A detailed walkthrough of how to import and export credentials using CXP and Vault12 Guard is available in the latest blog post on the Vault12 website.
