Share Vault at a Glance
Share Vault is the HypaVault feature that hands someone an encrypted copy of a whole vault, opened with a one-time, 25-character share code. Send the file and the code by different routes, such as the file by email and the code in person, because neither opens the vault alone. The recipient imports it with their own passcode and a new recovery phrase, and every file is re-encrypted with new keys.
