Locker keeps logins, alarm codes, gate codes and other secrets in one place. It works like a password manager: folders, sharing, and access you can change at any time. Open it from the lock at the top of every screen, on the computer and on the phone. The lock turns yellow while your Locker is open on that device.
Why it is safe
Everything in Locker is locked on your own device with your Locker password before it leaves. BulkDesk stores only the locked version. Nobody can read your items without it: not the office, not the director, not BulkDesk. Even the names of items and folders are locked.
That also means nobody can recover a forgotten Locker password. Choose one you will remember, different from your sign-in.
Next: Setting it up ›Setting it up
- Press the lock at the top.
- Choose a Locker password of 12 characters or more and type it twice.
- Tick that you understand nobody can recover it, then Set up my Locker.
You get your own folder, My items, that only you can see.
Next: Opening and locking ›Opening and locking
- Type your Locker password and press Open the Locker.
- It locks itself after 15 minutes without use, when you sign out and when you reload the page. Lock now locks it straight away, for example before you hand your phone to someone.
Finding things
The Locker's own menu, on the left (across the top on a phone), has All items, Favourites, one line per type (Passwords, Secure notes, Addresses, Payment cards, Bank accounts, Software licences) and your folders, each with its count.
- Board shows each item as a card; List shows one row per item. Board opens first; BulkDesk remembers your choice on that device.
- Sort by Folder (A to Z) groups the items under each folder, with Shared folder marked. Press a folder heading to fold it, or Fold all. Name (A to Z) and Last changed show one list.
- Search finds items by name and by anything that is not secret (user, website, bank, product), across all your folders.
- The star on a card makes it a favourite: favourites sit at the top of All items.
Adding an item
- Press Add item and choose what you are keeping: Password, Secure note, Address, Payment card, Bank account or Software licence.
- The drawer on the right asks for that type's fields. Give it a name people will search for: "Xero", "Alarm, Robina kitchen", "Gate, BD-2026-1104".
- Pick the folder and press Add.
In the drawer:
- Make a strong password fills in a new 20 character password.
- Two-factor secret: paste the setup key a site gives when you switch on two-step sign-in. The Locker then shows the 6 digit code, a new one every 30 seconds, with Copy.
- Notes, Custom fields (any label and value, marked Hidden if it is secret) and Advanced settings open when you press them.
- Advanced settings, ask for my Locker password: that item asks for your Locker password every time someone shows or copies its secrets.
Copy puts a secret on the clipboard without showing it; Show reveals it on screen. Card numbers, account numbers, PINs, licence keys and secure notes are hidden until shown.
Next: Sharing a folder ›Sharing a folder
Your own folder is never shared. To share, make a shared folder:
- Press New shared folder, name it ("Office", "Site codes") and press Make.
- In Share and access, choose a person and their access, then Share. The box tells you how many items they will see.
| Access | What it allows |
|---|---|
| Manager | Shares the folder, changes access, renames and deletes it |
| Can edit | Adds, changes and deletes items |
| Read only | Sees and copies items, changes nothing |
A person only shows in the list once they have set up their own Locker. Every folder keeps at least one manager.
Next: Taking someone off ›Taking someone off
Press the cross beside their name in Share and access. The folder then gets a new key and everything in it is locked again, so they cannot read anything added later. Anything they already saw or copied cannot be taken back: change those passwords at the source if it matters, for example when someone leaves the company.
Next: If you forget your Locker password ›If you forget your Locker password
Press Forgot your Locker password? and Start over. Your own folder is deleted with everything in it. You leave your shared folders; a manager can share them with you again once you have set up a new Locker. If you were the only manager of a folder, the next person in it becomes manager.
Next: In the demo company ›In the demo company
In BulkDesk Demo, setting up a Locker fills it with made-up sample items: your own folder plus three shared folders (Office, Site codes, Suppliers). Samples include every type and a two-factor code. If your Locker was set up before, press Add sample items. They are encrypted like real items and none of them is a real account.
Next: What is recorded ›What is recorded
The activity log notes who set up a Locker, who made, shared or deleted a shared folder, and items added or deleted in shared folders. It never records what an item says.
