Decentralized, on-device credential management and secure identity orchestration for modern enterprises.
MYKI, originally known for its pioneer decentralized architecture where passwords were stored on-device rather than in a central cloud vault, was acquired by JumpCloud in early 2022. By 2026, the technology has been fully integrated into the JumpCloud Open Directory Platform, serving as the JumpCloud Password Manager. This transition has shifted the tool from a standalone consumer/MSP app to a core component of a comprehensive IAM ecosystem. The underlying architecture still leverages encrypted local storage and peer-to-peer synchronization, significantly reducing the attack surface associated with traditional cloud-based password managers. In the 2026 market, it stands out by offering IT admins a 'single pane of glass' to manage identities, devices, and credentials. It allows for the secure sharing of passwords across teams without exposing the actual credentials, and it integrates natively with JumpCloud's cloud directory services, providing a robust alternative to Bitwarden or 1Password for organizations already invested in the JumpCloud ecosystem. Its unique value proposition remains the elimination of a central point of failure (the master vault), which appeals to high-security environments and regulated industries requiring strict data residency controls.
Credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored on user devices rather than a central cloud server.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Uses a proprietary P2P protocol to sync data across authorized devices without the data passing through an unencrypted relay.
Enables the use of mobile biometrics (FaceID/TouchID) to authorize logins on a desktop browser via a secure Bluetooth/Push channel.
Cryptographic emergency access protocol allowing designated 'heirs' to request access to vaults after a defined timeout.
Multi-tenant dashboard for managing password security across hundreds of client organizations simultaneously.
Real-time visibility into password health, reuse, and breach status across the entire organization.
Local decryption ensures that users can access their passwords even without an internet connection.
MSPs needing to manage multiple client credentials without mixing data or using insecure spreadsheets.

Ensuring remote employees can only access company credentials from authorized, biometrically verified devices.
Managing shared root/admin credentials for servers without sharing the actual password string.
