What is credentials escrow?
Credentials escrow is a legal agreement where a software provider deposits the logins, billing rights, and authentication materials needed to manage the hosting platforms and services supporting their application.
A neutral third party like Codekeeper secures these assets and activates them only when a contract-defined continuity event is confirmed, ensuring essential services remain stable until control is restored to the provider.
Credentials escrow is part of Codekeeper’s broader Continuity Escrow solution.
Why credentials protection matters
Reliable software doesn’t run in isolation. It depends on hosting platforms, billing systems, infrastructure tools, APIs, and third-party services that must remain accessible at all times.
Who manages these services if your internal access changes?
How do you prevent renewals or subscriptions from lapsing during disruption?
What ensures provider credentials stay organized, current, and usable?
How can all parties stay confident that critical services will continue operating?
Secure access to critical platforms
We store the credentials required to manage and renew hosting accounts, billing portals, and third-party platforms that your software depends on.
Maintain payments during continuity events
If a continuity trigger occurs, Codekeeper can use escrowed billing credentials to process renewals and prevent lapses across your essential services.
Independent oversight for reliable continuity
Both beneficiaries and depositors gain assurance knowing the platforms and payments your software runs on are guarded independently.
Dedicated support throughout the process
Our support team assists with setup, continuity planning, and guided actions during a verified event, ensuring everything runs exactly as the agreement defines.
How does credentials escrow work?
1. Identify the providers your software relies on
You outline the hosting, SaaS, and infrastructure services to be included in your escrow, along with update expectations and continuity triggers.
2. Deposit the required credentials securely
Follow provider-specific instructions to add billing users, generate access, or submit your credentials through encrypted channels.
3. Keep your escrow aligned with your environment
As your software and provider stack evolves, Codekeeper captures updates automatically so the escrowed credentials always reflect your current setup.
4. Activate continuity when it’s required
If a continuity condition is triggered, Codekeeper uses the escrowed credentials to ensure essential services remain operational.

Without credentials escrow
Essential provider access becomes harder to coordinate
Services may lapse during transitions or internal changes
Missing credentials delay operational decisions
Trust weakens when no independent safeguard exists
With credentials escrow
Provider access stays safe, structured, and independently held
Services remain active during continuity conditions
Teams respond faster because access remains consistent
Trust strengthens as both parties know essential services won’t be disrupted
Build a complete continuity safety net
Credentials escrow is part of Codekeeper’s Continuity Escrow solution — a framework designed to keep your software’s essential dependencies running by maintaining access, payments, and supporting services while recovery plans are executed.
